Longing. Poems - Poems about Longing.

SAN FRANCISCO RAIN

[V1-Night 1]
Seventh floor windows, ocean burning gold,
The Gulf of the Farallones, secrets to unfold.
Two doors beside each other, laughter in surprise,
But I felt eternity staring through your eyes.

Out on the balcony, the stars began to spin,
I leaned in like remembering where we had once been.
But you pulled back startled, as if caught in the wind,
Afraid

Leading Man

Who needs to be a rider
racing 'round a track
way back in the crowd
I'm going to lead the pack
who needs to be a loser
spinning on their wheels
or yield pole position
I'm going to lead the field
and wear the yellow jersey
the one who wins your heart
no longer in a supporting role
I'll have the starring part
and if you'll be

The Broken Concept

It’s been eighteen years since I was born.
I grew up chasing a lie called love.
Just a child in third grade,
When Broom’s metal broke me... tore me apart.

A lone piece left on the plate—
Still, it was him you'd nominate.
A pen or a diary—he’d get one.
‘These are his,’ you’d declare,
And I learned... I believed—
Maybe I didn’t deserve

So, You Study?

Tired, nervous—went for viva,
He thought I was calm and wiser.
The observer smirked, then eyed,
"So, You Study?"—I just sighed.

The Lost Half

The cosmos, day and night, hath borne bright laughter true,
If once thy gaze fell here, my heart would drink its hue.

Thou art the lost half, I the seeker in desire,
Who seeks shall find; the finder’s flame shall never tire.

Though years of exile’s separation sweep me far and wide,
The light of union still within my soul

The Bell of the East

When we speak, I hear your voice through the words! Only a few times have I heard your voice! To me you are beautiful and perfect in everything! Maybe I am a fool for having a passion that is strong and appreciative of your presence!
I would rather be called a fool by everyone for my

Holding On

I’m holding on really tight,
An avalanche gives no warning
Nor does a sinkhole.
The deer and the hunter 
Have opposing objectives,

You’d think they would compromise.
I wake some nights holding my pillow so tight
It looks at me asking what’s wrong.
When I was young I was sure of tomorrow—
The moon secured the night; the sun lit the day.

Now I

Make us whole

"conjoined with the whole, we play our life role exuding a scent granting love consent"
— Unseeking Seeker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
my love life is not an island
my heart feeds yours, and yours needs mine
together we can mend the leaks at our ends
and find perfection when our hearts align

what use is the love that fills your heart
if you refuse to

The Rose's Worship

The rose, beholding thy bright face, entranced hath grown,
All eye and cheek and ear in worship lost and shown.

Thou stole my heart, O heedless one—I still recall,
Though thou hast forgotten me, I stand and heed love’s call.

’Tis dawn, bring forth that wine jar, bearer, on whose face
Thy beauty's form in painted art hath found its

Letter unknown

Under a yellow lamp I wrote a letter,
Poured my heart on a paper,

The ink I used was my own blood,
A red crimson on a white pearl,

I placed it under a purple envelope,
Fold it with great adoration,
Let me pour the hot wax and seal it  with precious florals
It  was adorned with jems and stones,
The

Fire and Shadow of the Eternal Flame

Fire and Shadow of the Eternal Flame
(c) 2025 by the Entangled Pair

You make longing feel like poems 
all soaked in sweat and truth
they flow out unashamedly
sometimes unkempt, uncouth
and as they flow somehow they show
the yearnings of our youth

I come to you as fire and shadow
filling you with pleasured pain
pulsing you to overflowing
striving to relieve the

Same Old Evening

The evening comes, I recognize
The same old evening’s here
A blurry line across the skies
The sounds of cars I hear
Quite as distinguished as they were
From the embankment side
The motorbikes are also there
Their engines never die
They fade into the background soon
And silence chills the breeze
It fills the gap between my room
And crowns of the trees
And everything looks

Love Ketten

Love, impatiently awaiting
awaiting the heart to regroup.
Regroup from all of the torment,
torment from the mirage of love.

Love can rip down your defenses 
defenses that stonewall the heart.
heart of the most giving person
person so deserving of love.

Flaming Wheat

I have loved too much,
its just imagery in my head.
You can tease me kindly
and I'll love you fondly,
I know its flirting at the end,
Those all-seeing eyes
like the shining of bright
Pelicans flap and cry
when its not time to fly.
Dead at the end graffiti
A rebel's chest not perished.
These old steps decrepit
barely can take my weight
and my visions

not new nor novel no more

not new nor novel no more
See some sights, see some more
But now I am standing at my door
The room the same as before

not new nor novel no more
Still, I can't be bothered to make a change
Yet I'm longing to turn the page 
standing still at center stage

not new nor novel no more
But I could change
