No name

Why yearned for something you pushed away.
Why yearned for something you cannot have.
Why yearn for the world when you pushed your world away

Desire

I longed for the pleasures
desires sequestered
all that I yearned for I get
but I forfeit my soul
when fire took control
and it burns internally yet

once a young pumpkin named bill

yearned for a bigger life thrill

though lacking in feet

he'd roll down a street

into the nearest car grille.

And thought he would skip Judgment Day

His betrayal screamed through me
Deafening my heart

A curmudgeon sure

Yet when from parted lips
  his timeless treasures poured
The very Founts of Wisdom

The One Yearned For View

Swept clear to the horizon
Summer day's hazy
Of tree and habitation
The one yearned for view.

Gives, as it does, free access
If but musefully
To whom, afar, regardless
Will be lost. Adieu!

Premium Member CLYDE'S FRUSTRATION

Clyde yearned for a kiss 'neath the mistletoe

   But not a gal took notice of his woe

Obsessed

He wasn’t mine
Yet he was mine
He yearned for me
Same way I yearned for him
But he didn’t notice 
And so didn’t I see

He was close
Yet far from close 
It felt right 
Though it wasn’t right
Buried within me 
Will he be

Thirsty

Throat parched, yearned for water, Tongue stuck to His dry mouth; Thirsty to do God's will, The Lord died on the cross, Thwarting devil's intents To hinder salvation; That day, He pined, for me.

Premium Member Long Have I Yearned

Long have I yearned for you. 
The feel of your arms around me. 
You bodies heat seeping into mine. 
It is a thirst that will not be quenched. 
To have you for just one night, 
that it might slake my fevered need, 
I fear would be as putting oil on a fire.

I Love You

I crossed all the lines
Left my whole world behind
Over and over I cried and cried
Virtually at some point I died
Every thing I did or at least tried
Yearned for your love far and wide
Only to prove thing you never knew
Until I made you believe that I love you

Deep Students

The students in my classrooms were deeper than the rest! They yearned for knowledge only, and I, their prof, felt blessed. This was my giddy thought when my first class I taught… until I heard the ditty: "Will this be on the test?”

The Thrill's Not Gone

Old Don Jon yearned for a last fling
and found out he still had the sting,
With the magic blue pill
and ready for the kill
He now knew will last beyond spring.

Premium Member Laid To Rest

I had yearned for it all my life
That simple gesture
That finally healed
The open wound
That for years
Bled 
In a silent stream
That fell Between
The cracks in
You and me
When with a gentle sigh
You looked 
Into my eyes
Held my hand
And kissed my fingertips
The day
Before you died

Not To Be

long haired blue eyed doll
in a shop window displayed
the child yearned for it

the mother noticed
her face showed melancholy
not enough money

the big doll stays put
she took her sad child by hand
looking back crying

at home she daydreamed
the mother baked her a cake
the girl smiled and ate

I Forgive You

I tried my best
to solve the problem like quest
I yearned for days
But Let's just part ways
I hold no grudge
knowing you won't budge
sometimes things don't fit
so we will just split.
My anger is very hard to deal
so I forgive you hope it heal

Premium Member THE Magic of Love

I look deep into your eyes and
I see the magic I have yearned for.
Thanks for letting me see the light,
When I felt only darkness.
Thanks for allowing us,
To feel that special love, if only,
But a drop in time, at least we lived it.
I never thought I could fall in love,
But you reached into my heart,
And touched my soul.
