Wanted Poems - Poems about Wanted

Oh, the joy of telemarketers, Who call you up without a care, With offers they believe are clever, But really just provoke despair. They call with grand insurance plans, Covid kits and credit schemes, As if I’m some prized target For their automated dreams. “End-of-life” expense protection — Oh, what a cheery nightly theme! I nod along sarcastically Inside my caller-haunted dreams. And then there’s Medicare, of...

I used to have a huge appetite for shopping Would purchase things I rarely or never used Accumulated a houseful of rare junk Needless items that fit nowhere and no one Time-wasting at thrift stores, garage sales and malls Easy to do Delighted in this idiocy I somehow outgrew this habit eventually Time showed me other things to do; new avenues of delight...

I’ve never wanted to grow up. I’ve always been the girl who sighed At birthday candles instead of making wishes. The girl who whispered, “Wow… another year,” Like time was something cruel, Not a gift.

Neighbor’s voice floats over A dog barks from a faraway place Tweets of birds captures my attention I always wanted to be a grandma Met that goal ten times Moreover, I wanted to live in the country I have done that for the past twenty years There is nothing more relaxing than sitting in the country With two dogs at my feet Waiting for...

I only wanted to love you So you would love me too, Until you stopped loving yourself too, The you that I always knew. Then all of the feelings which once grew Withered away by devastating words of slew When you had chosen to let anger brew, I decided I would remake myself anew.

A panacea for cancer is what I’m all about What about Alzheimer’s, the jealous one asked in a shout Let’s not forget chicken pox, heart attacks and leprosy The scientist ran from his lab, to watch monotone TV He wanted to eliminate all the diseases, of course But opposition was as stubborn as Farmer Joe's plow horse The naysayers were yelling...

I wanted to disappear like smoke into the unknown air, where lines aren't drawn and nothing is known, Into a realm where rules don't bind us and failures leave no shadows in the tried soul, But this world is a vast ocean of beauty drowned in a community with a feigned smile, Where our minds are drained by...

I know you feel like you are invisible Like your worth is lost in the world. But I need you to know this You may not see it yet, ?But there are people who care,? Who would catch you if you fall,? Who would hold you when you need to be seen. You matter. Not for what you do, ?But for who you are.? Your...

She Wanted More! He shut the car door with a hush; she closed her side of the car with a statement. He slipped into his seat belt in a measured sense; she slapped-snapped her seat belt on.. in relief. He stroked the gear lever, a reflection of lifestyle; she touched the automatic lever, as if a passenger. The passenger in a car;...
