Awakened Longing
The scene you render, serene and sublime,
Awakens a longing, untouched by time.
Symbolic and sweet, your desires so true,
My soul aches for the soft touch of you.
Perchance an angel from realms above,
Sent to restore my faith in love.
Yet here lies a cold, callused heart,
Memories of love, a soul torn apart.
Love’s sweet whispers, once graced my ear,
But shadows fell and hearts did sear.
Betrayed by love, left in despair,
Now haunted by memories, heartache to bear.
Once-cherished dreams, now ghostly veils,
Love’s promises, like ships that sail.
Adrift in sorrow, hearts washed astray,
Your guiding light, shores of a new day.
Your ethereal beauty shines so bright,
My heart, an empty cavern, devoid of light,
Perhaps a candle to illuminate these dark halls,
Your tenderness and compassion enthralls.
All I yearn is to be wanted and desired,
To be seen once more, cherished and admired.
In this cold, lonely world, I’m utterly alone,
Longing for a warm embrace, to feel at home.
With you, perchance, I shall find my place,
Restored by your boundless love and grace.
No more to wander, no more to roam,
In each other’s arms, we find our home.
