With Longing Poems - Poems about With Longing

Premium MemberFlaming Wheat

I have loved too much,
its just imagery in my head.
You can tease me kindly
and I'll love you fondly,
I know its flirting at the end,
Those all-seeing eyes
like the shining of bright
Pelicans flap and cry
when its not time to fly.
Dead at the end graffiti
A rebel's chest not perished.
These old steps decrepit
barely can take my weight
and my visions

not new nor novel no more

not new nor novel no more
See some sights, see some more
But now I am standing at my door
The room the same as before

not new nor novel no more
Still, I can't be bothered to make a change
Yet I'm longing to turn the page 
standing still at center stage

not new nor novel no more
But I could change

Premium MemberChains On The Gate




Each day is the same; we all sit here and wait,
listening for the sound of the chains on the gate.
You see, that’s our signal; that’s our cue;
that’s how we know what we're to do.
We all soon learn what each sound is for,
even before someone's open the door.
We get excited when the laundry is clean,
the high

My heart stripped bare

Each day, you make my heart race a long mile,
Yet you've always deprived me of your smile,
Your neglect and your frown work hand in glove,
As if that’s the price I’ve to pay for love.

Each of my words, to your deaf ear they land,
Why don't you want to kiss my shaky hand,
And send a cold thrill

Tonight

I want tonight to be the night
The one that we keep insight
A forever moment cherished in time
The work is done, and the hill is climbed
One special evening with you cradled in my arms
I’ve fallen for your unique and beautiful charms
Now I need to show you my light inside
From a heart that nearly died
You are my

The longing of an eternal: Inspired from The Sandman by Neil Gaimon

As the dream king is sat at his throne...

What am I to do whilst I am away? What then would befall my kingdom? There is still so much to do but yet, I am administered so little time. I am here now but what should take priority? This throne alike every footstep of mine bears

Premium MemberWings

If I had wings to fly,
I'd breathe in deep
and spread them wide
as I leap from the cliff
into the wind
where the seagulls glide.

Crossing this wide sea
I glide above cruel waves
that reach up 
to drown my flight 
in their cold and deep
blue-green graves.

And as your day grows slowly light
I'd arrive on worn-out wings
to hold you in your

Premium MemberI Dream

As I look at the stars at night
and dream of what is to be,
my heart begins to smile
for it is you I see.

Knowing that you're close,
yet so far away,
I dream of you at night
and think about you every day.

For, every moment without you
seems like an eternity.
I dream of the day we kiss
and I can hold

leaning into the darkness of the night

leaning into the darkness of the night

into the stillness of the leaves, leaning, into

Premium MemberIn a Quiet Place

I'll be waiting quietly 
Back behind the scenes
In case, perhaps it's meant to be
That we live out those dreams 
I'll still be up most half the night
Thinking hard and long
And in my mind 'twill in my sight 
See Bluebird singing songs
Reading books I think you'd like 
Each year one more in sum
Talking to you while

It never ends, does it

It's amazing, they were right!
It all gets easier in the end
The pain of grief and loss subsides
And the sun can shine again

The moments are much happier
And it all just melts away
When not that very long ago
I couldn't make it through the day

The little things become so big
When your world is all askew,
Quiet, fleeting, the passing

DREAMER

[Verse 1 – Dreaming Asleep]
With music in my headphones and silence in the room
I found a way to drift beyond the moon
If I focus on a feeling and let the rhythm guide
By midnight, I’m dreaming what I designed.. oh my

[Pre-Chorus]
The world I build in sleep feels real
And every night, I spin the wheel

[Chorus]
I’m a dreamer...

When the Tide Remembers!

The sea was a whisper before it was water,
cleaved through the wind.
I stepped into its silver mouth,
waves curling something pressing in
a wistful longing for a past I never knew.

Seagulls traced ethereal designs across the expanse
their wails scattered like fragments.
Somewhere underneath the foam,
the past was fossilized within sedimentary strata
waiting for my hands to delve deep enough

Premium MemberLonging


I long for the place I used to be
That felt like home, serenity
Where colored skies hugged the hill
Beauty from God's pail did spill
Where cozy woodstove fires burned,
while snowflakes fell outside
Wildlife friends didn't want to hide
The seasons brought gifts abound
I remember every sight and sound
Now, I long to return...
to a place I lost, for where I

SERENDIPITY

songer.co/song/gczrmkvjg6vew99l2b021z1f

[Verse 1]
Love comes and love runs
As I go another time around the sun

[Verse 2]
Love someone, then let them go
The less you care, the more you know
As I go another time around the sun

[Bridge]
If you know love, you hold it tight
The imposter’s always chasing lights
And I go another time around the sun

[Verse 3]
I said no thanks
