desires sequestered
all that I yearned for I get
but I forfeit my soul

yearned for a bigger life thrill

into the nearest car grille....

He yearned for Iowa where it was snowing...

And thought he would skip Judgment Day

His taste buds he needed to tickle
He ate twenty four
Then fell on the floor
Digestion can be oh so fickle

A curmudgeon sure

   But not a gal took notice of his woe

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...

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 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...

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?”...

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.

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...

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 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
