My heart longs for you serenely
When the quiet dawn breathes its pale hue,
And the faraway stars fade one by one from the sky;
When the daystar sinks beyond the town
And, for a while, the earth gets ready to slumber down,
I feel you again.
My heart longs for you serenely
When I listen to a melody—your eyes hover before mine;
When I read a book, your face emerges from this.
When I unfold your old letters, your voice seems so near,
And my eyes quietly fill with tears.
I feel you again.
I cannot stop loving you
And I do not know why
It seems that every other day
You break my heart and I cry
All that I have ever wanted
Is to love you and only you
Now it seems that won't happen
Tell me what am I supposed to do
My heart longs for you
And for your love as well
You're all my life has ever needed
As far as my heart and I can tell
You're what I dream about
Every night I see your smile
My heart knows I still love you
But my mind it is in denial
What are we going to do
About to love that remains
That makes our hearts hurt
And torments our brains
We have two options from here
We can hold on or we can let go
I know our love isn't dead
Because my heart has more to show
I haven't always been the best
And I haven't been the best I could be
Just know my heart is yours
And I'm everything you want me to be
Lord, my heart longs for you
I do not ask for wealth, or power
I only ask one thing: to be with You
In Your house, in Your presence
Contemplate the beauty of Your creation
Listen to your voice
Aspire to live in me
Cleanse my gaze from the hustle
Make my heart simple and true
Let Your glory shines through me
In Your precious name I pray.
For Valentines Day Senryu Contest
my heart longs for you
words can’t express how I feel~
fill in blank your name
Mine, the heavenly flame that never fades,
Yields to thine needs, where truth reveals platonic love.
From afar, you could kindle my smile
My heart longs for you to discern my wordless depths.
Stay with me always, and drive me mad with desire!
Do not desert me to the wilderness of despair.
Forevermore, I implore your presence,
Until the Valley of Shadow embrace me__

Pen Name: Aashii
I am longing for somebody.
But do I have the right to feel this way?
He’s not mine—not yet, not ever.
But he’s trapped in my mind, now and forever.
Every time I check my phone,
I’m hoping for your name in my notification zone.
Fearful of losing each other in this game of confusion,
My heart longs for you; now that’s my confession.
If granted one wish today,
I’d choose to see you and ask for time to run slowly.
I may not be yours tomorrow or even today,
You’ll always be at the heart of my poetry.
I put in the effort to win your heart,
But it seems I couldn't make a start.
You don't love me, though I wish you would,
I keep that pain hidden, as best I could.
We share laughter, we share our days,
I laugh along, hiding love's disarray.
My heart yearns for you, in secret it does,
Yet I laugh with you, in the game of love.
I worked hard to be close to you,
But your love remains a distant view.
I won't let you see the hurt within,
I'll keep smiling, though I yearn deep within.
In our shared moments, I won't reveal,
The depth of the love that I conceal.
I laugh and joke, pretend to be fine,
But in my heart, your image will shine.
Though you don't love me the same way,
I'll keep my feelings hidden, come what may.
I'll play my part, laughing with you,
But in my heart, my love is true.
In the end, my pain remains unsaid,
I'll smile and laugh, bury it deep instead.
My heart longs for you, but I won't let it show,
In this bittersweet dance, our secrets will grow.
The more I get to know you
The more I know I love you
Who you are is who I so adore
And the more that I adore you
The more my heart longs for you
For out from it that love for you does pour
I wish we could get crazy,
Not settle for just maybe,
Do the things dreamed for us to do
And if ever came the day
Where you say it's okay
I'd find a way to make each dream come true
His kisses leave a bitter taste
His hugs leave me cold
His words cut as false hope
Only with him I want to cope
But I Resent you
But my heart longs for you
I die from anxiety
I die by blood
Mark of the beast
and the beast is me
only ready to set my dying soul free
let me die with a punctured heart
and eat it while it’s pure for start
Soon they gather in my name
To celebrate my life but I lived it in pain
I loved but I loved him in vain
play my scars like a piano
sing my mind like a soprano
draw out my memories like Egyptians
capture my blood and use it as my diction
save my womb and give it to a virgin
so she shall bare my half because I wasn’t whole
Let her be pure for that was my goal
Until he laid me on my back and stroked ...
Stroked his ego why of course
Breaking my heart with time
Showing no remorse
he cannot speak at my farewell
He shall sit with the rest that hurt me as well
No one shall speak they don’t deserve
They’re the reason I’ll lie in dirt
You are a blossom in the frosty dew
I was lost until I met you...this is true...
You are a butterfly of red and blue
Purple kisses of sunshine embraces you
You are the grapes to my heart vines from the start
You are unforgotten in my memory
I was lost until I found you truly
You are a black cat amongst the woods of cheer
Blissfulness is in this tranquil town of no fear
I am your ship and you're the dolphin in the waves of art
You are precious as the dawn's arrival
I would like to ask you on a date and all
Because you're on my mind on a daily
You are a great find, so beautifully free
You are the date of my longing heart before it breaks apart
My heart longs for you and more in store
I adore the way you make me honestly feel
You are the birds of the air in the beach ashore
I am, to the core, wish I was yours for real!
Floating on the waters of love
My heart writhes in pain
This love letter I send thereof
A boat in the rain
Drifting on the waters of love
Hope it reaches you
I give it a desperate shove
This letter long due
Sailing on the waters of love
My heart longs for you
You and me are like hand in glove
We will clear this blue
Swimming in the waters of love
My heart'll reach ashore
This boat is acting like that dove
Of love evermore
Bobbing on the waters of love
My boat has reached you
We're joined with blessings from above
Two loving hearts true

For Mystic Rose Rose's "The last love letter" contest
KEEP IN TOUCH- -
In the summer there is the light;
Hold me close to you oh, honey real tight;
Let me speak to you whispers sweets nothings in your ear;
Let me kiss you baby, tonight
Darling so that you will ignite
Those feelings of excite
Alone we two are shall not fear;
Come ever closer to me my dear;
Hold my hand, understand;
That I shall ever be your one true man…
I have lived through May springs;
That’s why I sing of love and of those anything;
Anything, many things on your mind;
I have believed a life of luxury;
You know I’m sure that I’ve kept in touch;;
Love you so much let’s never part
Kept in touch;
The golden stars above kiss me;
The heavens above miss me;
Keep in touch, keep in touch with me;
I love you, I love you, I love you as you walk away;
As you leave and depart, you’re breaking my heart;
Just remember I am yet still your friend
Always where ever you’re keep in touch
Now if go away if you’re on the battle field keep this still;
My heart longs for you you’re gone;
Keep in touch, keep in touch, keep in touch

Written words by James Edward Lee 1974©
I saw him sitting there
so beautiful and sweet
wind swept hair from the
school air conditioning
The desk next to you is empty
and I hear it calling my name
I'm too shy to talk
but my heart longs for you
babe at the desk
You put a smile on my face
Even though there is so much space
You are really special in my heart
Nothing will set us apart
You make my depression go away
You will never lead me astray
The belief you have in me
Sets all my pain free
My heart longs for you
I know this is true
The day I kiss your lips
And hold you by the hips
My promise I make
Puts everything at stake
You hold the key to my heart
You have protected it from the start
With you I wanna grow old
Our relationship is so bold
I wanna say something so true
I really truly do love you
Looking up at the stars
I know in my heart your not far
Seeing the moons glow so bright
My love for you is out of sight
The twinkling of the skies
Are just that of your eyes
The sounds in the night
Is as soothing of a dim light
The sun is starting to rise
Your love is a surprise
My heart longs for you so true
As the night sky reminds me of you
