Yearnings Poems | Examples

Escape

sensual touches
sate a need that aids depressed
hearts seeking passion
patches to cover twin aches
worn as scars from rejection

escape needs fulfilled
covers hold two stories told ~
desperate duet

Silent Yearnings

The night's about to end, you're here with me,
As we exchange sweet stories wrought in blue;
A chilling embrace crawls up past my knee,
Because of thoughts I dare not share with you.

Your grace pierces deep into my soul's whole,
While we speak, your world entwines close with mine;
A lovely thief you are—my voice you stole,
Then left me eased yet frozen down my spine.

In moments swift, you naïvely smile,
And warmth circles back—straight to my heart's core;
I've known your spirit deeply all this while,
And wonder if we could be something more.

Till hearts align and truth we dare to see,
Perhaps then you'll know what you mean to me.

Simple Yearnings

Simple yearnings are the only ones I’ve ever known
                   Gentle as the sparrow’s wing forever having flown
Easy as the summer sun that rises in the sky
                 Just to be loved and to love for dreamers such as I

Yearnings of a Renegade

The echo of a dreadful night cannot contain a valorous heart
The searing blood in a warrior's veins does not succumb to a vanquished heart
The clashing of swords, gory and raw do not sway the mighty "outlaw"
She charges deep into the dawning war with strands of darkness glistening under the waning star

Thoughts of her faith she finds futile
For who can make the brave abide
Her heart that streaks with mutiny and rebellion 
seeks only for a fellow Sneer

A renegade at birth, she wanders on
Finding peace she suspects will slip through her claws 
The brown of her parched skin glistens as the dark embraces her flaws 
She flourishes under the night's indifferent maze
and comes alive under the moon's sliver gaze 

She longs for an invitation to a land far-off
with water that soothes her war ridden heart
A traitor, rebel and a renegade to her own
she wishes to be a lover in a warrior's home town

To at last find the peace that her heart longs 
And satisfy the cravings of a heart that's been reeking of betrayal all along
She whispers her yearnings to the Full Moon
and hopes her prayer will come through soon.

My Yearnings

MY YEARNINGS 

                  My yearnings only to get best
                  right reward what I do deserve.
                  If diligent and competent,
                  I wish for success to observe
                 and  reciprocation in I love.

Subtle Yearnings

if our fontanel tingles
or third eye glistens
our throb of anticipation
quickens as soul listens

we tend to neglect
other nodes that pulsate
if our eye be single
why do we discriminate

as spirit enlivening form
and we as the all-there-is
feel within each sensation
innate vibrancy of bliss

differentiated perception
ride on the Ferris wheel 
may then all coordinates 
hold to heart equal appeal

Yearnings of Childhood

Yearnings of childhood
distant echoes
of mystery, magical trains
broken tracks
the mind —
often late past midnight
senses
the source
strains… reaches…
for stairwells
of 
explanations

Yearnings Stillborn

slate gray day's
nocturnal mood
souls sensitive
often brood

upon nature's
whimsy, caprice
yearnings stillborn
know no peace

darkness settles
in forest, meadows
'pon every plateau ~
doused, flames' embers
in shuttered chateaus

Romantic Yearnings

Holding each other close, with piercing eyes and hearts that Brings an ardent longing for more 

As the coherent sounds echo and course through the entwined heated bodies , such a striking vision to witness in a glory to be cherished 

Step by step they move like clouds floating in the air , only true love to carry them along the way , such beauty, and ever so picturesque 

Dressed to the nines matters not , for time stands still and every exasperated breath accounted for makes the moment the only moment to touch each others soul 

Now the crescendo of this galant night beckons for the tenderness and full volume of an everlasting lasting kiss so proper , so gentle , and so wanted , it happens like whisper in the wind thus ends this magical endeavour

Yearnings

As sun sinks low and stars come out,
my passion starts to burn;
the darkness causes hopes that shout
this pining poet’s yearn.

I sit and ponder for awhile
the dreams I long to find;
the thoughts of you and your sweet smile
weigh heavy on my mind.

The reveries of your sweet love,
my passion’s paradigm;
as moonbeams flutter from above
these moments sealed in time.

Love Affair

attentions shown them
stir yearnings - not more lonely -
arms closely hold them
kisses twinge loneliness opaque
soft trembles soften twin aches

desperate duet
quaking one evasion high  
escape needs fulfilled
~hearts crave pain blocking solace ~
covers mold two stories told

Yearnings

Should I just dream of your Divine embrace
when passions conquer any foolish pride.
Those wanton longing finally satisfied
amidst the moonlight my heart will encase.

My yearnings, reignited to retrace
to awake a fervor sorely denied.
My darling, love envisions worlds collide
as my facade destroyed, heal me with your grace.

My love imploring, is not but a dream!
Tis your caress which roused my fretful rest
while I reach for stars in final quest
to welcome two hearts tangled in-between.

A maven, I take solace by your side
with visions of the night, now magnified

My Yearnings

           I can’t remember that very moment
           as when her sudden glance flashed on my heart.
           Days, months, years passed, I could not recollect.
          Screen of forgetfulness hang to obstruct.

         No other glances touched or appealed mind.
         I desired, yearned only for those two eyes.
         Time advanced, I left my feelings behind.
         Just a glance was enough to mesmerize.

        I waited, waited and waited so long.
       Buds of my passion never bloomed but dried. 
       My wounded heart pretended to be strong,
       showing smile on face, but silently cried.

        A free bird spread wings in open wide sky. 
        and could not be bounded by social tie.

Poem 102, Superb Yearnings

Candle lit burning in the back porch 
He grab my hand
freezing and taunting in the moment
Maybe he is superb, living must in my world
Tis' I adore the sum of his yearnings?
There's is something about us
I understand
Something about him, crazier
The apocalyses never been it was
More sad truths
Begging..
Hesitation
This prose..
This could be us..
