Long Love longing Poems

Winter
by Michael R. Burch

The rose of love's bright promise
lies torn by her own thorn;
her scent was sweet
but at her feet
the pallid aphids mourn.

The lilac of devotion
has felt the winter hoar
and shed her dress;
companionless,
she shivers—nude, forlorn.

And they are asking me for more
Purified and sanctified water, I...

I was in love with him,
Without any particular reason or logic behind,
Just pure love. I blame the chemistry and the pheromones. 
I don’t know what he felt about me, and I didn’t care about that.

God breathed possibilities through my ambitions

The best love I never had


I think back to when we first met,
my thoughts linger I don't know why,

Old Mountain tales of love spin 'neath dawn's blush,
Elderberries, purple ink drop pearls, drawing me nigh.
Ah! Her laughter, a honeybee’s dance in summer’s rush,
Ignites my days with passion, 'tis morn I cry.
Calm, twilight lingers, her...

A WELL-VERSED FIRST 

The first time
The very first time
That fantastically infatuating first time

Still the second as sublime
But bless the birth and conception of the first time which too fleetingly flees
The first time passion persuades heated...

Quick glances paved a path towards him
Why was I so...

Our Time
The first time that our eyes would meet,
just babes, first day of school.
A twinkle shared was spark enough,
to make one soul of two.

Such pure and intimate being,
this new soul we then created.
Through years of...
