Premium Member Maudlin

It seems like love,
the longing for love,
the lingering memory of love;
have never been far from my mind.
I think I was born maudlin.


And a Time Comes

We often try to push away 
The difficult moments
Scared and tired
We don't want to stand 
Before things we don't like
And it's punishing
But there comes a time 
In the dusk of life
When you feel yourself longing until it hurts
For even the worst moment 
Of your life

Dry Land Farming

Beyond the horizon I look for the clouds;
Waiting for the rain drops on the parched land.
I crave longing for the sown seed to sprout
Existence to circumvent our turmoil:

Each day passes with hope for tomorrow;
Will I see the day when our fields go green?

Wild Mustangs

An ache, some hurt with longing to yearn
Cauldron left to simmer with passion
Bubbles in the fire ball of desire
Closely watch topless metaphors;

Animal instinct with intuition 
Gets drawn in a desperate hunger
As she is wooed in the foreplay  
Melodious moments with sensation;

Makes her cower to his firm will,
For she loves the rapture and thrill:

Sad

I am sad; I am hurt my heart is longing for some love. 
I have found that love before but I seem to have no more, if I had not seen it for 
myself! I would have never believed  how it flew right out from underneath me on 
that rainy day’ he was like a bird that flew from his cage. He was wanting free from 
my love; I knew my love was true for him! As I thought his was true for me.

I Must Keep Going

I'm stumbling and falling,
Must keep going there is no stalling,
Away from this longing,
The longing of belonging,
I'm crying,
And sighing,
Tumbling and fumbling,
As the road below me is crumbling,
Of my destination there's no way of knowing,
But I know I must and will keep going,
There's no lying,
My hopes are dying,
This path is terrifying,
But I must and will keep trying.

Surviving

S is for the sexual abuse I endured 
U is for the unknown answer of why 
R is the reality of it, but longing for the readiness to go on 
V is for the very innocence that was stolen long ago 
I is for the innocent child I was 
V is for the vulnerable child I was, but am not now 
I is for the "I", I have become 
N is for not letting go of hope and courage to heal 
G is for God and the greater things he has in store for me.

Metamorphosis Part 4

One by one they fall,
Into each other’s arms they go
Perfect and pretty they are,
Their heaven hurts my eyes.

Realistic, pessimistic I am,
Or envy, longing I have?
Something similar I want,
Something similar I need?

I am fine but I am not,
I am angry but I am passive.
To have that happiness once,
For everything there’s a first.

Will what they have
Change everything and me?
I do not know honestly,
But life’s experience will tell.

I Miss You

I miss you so much.
I hate that I can't see you everyday.
I'm longing for your touch.
And your kisses that kept me so amazed.

I really want you back in my life.
When you come back, I want it to be right.
No criticism, no fussing, no cussing, no fighting.
I want our love to be oh so delighting.

Maybe one day we will get another chance,
To re-ignite the flames of our once sweet romance.
It is so tough to get over you.
I pray and I pray that I don't have to.

I.M.A.O

In free fall I play to your liquid destiny,
Burn with uncontrolled desire in wet ecstasy,
Seek to quell the wind as you mist and cling to me,
Like dew drops in mergers my body swings with thee.

A trail of longing and desperation in love,
Ebbs within voluptuous curve of excitement,
To trace passion and recline in the seduction,
Lewd flow within the arms becoming one with you:

Let me breathe freshness to sequester your frail wiggle;
Disown my body and spirit in nature's giggle.
