Yearns Poems

Who Yearns to be Free

    Who yearns to be free
        will find it in Thee

     In Thy ineffable Light
        that dispels the dark night

     In Thy immeasurable Love
        Guiding us from above

     In the corner of a dim-lit chapel
        to You our prayers do travel

     In the union of husband and wife
        whom You bless to create new life

     Mobs bang the drums for Liberty... 
        Who yearns to be free ~
        finds it in quietude with Thee

Life Is a Poem

I’ve heard it said that poetry is dead
But I don’t believe that’s true.
It runs in our veins like water to rain
Somewhere inside me and you.

It’s up in the air, in circles and squares
And oceans, rivers and tides,
In cats and dogs, bayous and bogs,
In taverns and tall rocket rides.

For life is an ocean of poetry in motion
Though we can’t always hear its rhyme,
As it twists and turns, beckons and yearns
Throughout our lives and minds.

Poetry lives in the love we give
One another from day to day,
Intrinsic in nature like Ursa Major
And all the music we hear and play.

While tilling a garden
Or gazing at stars,
Poetry is in motion
Wherever we are.

In photography, paintings
And all manner of the arts,
That move our minds
And stir our hearts.

And while some may deny
The plain simple truth…
This life is a poem
That needs no proof.

The heart yearns

Heart yearns to be free 
once affected by your words 
torture you create

Heart Yearns-

And so my heart so yearns for you
It's beating finally so true
How can my spirit so knows I love you
My heart so yearns for you

Loving hearts do never touch
Get our lips get closer such
We share each other's breath
In somber touch

My heart so yearn  for you much

Diamond Yearns For Her Kittens

Diamond feels a kinship to the moon tonight
She cannot explain it but it is a welcome sight
Her mood is pensive, she has had a terrible day
Her owners have taken all of her kittens away

There are no little paws to prance and jump
Or spin or twirl, climb, fall into a friendly clump
Diamond is feeling sad as she stares at the moon.
Tonight there will be no kittens with whom to spoon.

Why do I have these litters? She asks herself with forlorn.
They are cute and cuddly later, but ugly when first born.
She gets used to them, and just as they are fun and play.
Strangers come and take her litters away.

I shall have no more litters, she resolves as she stares at the moon.
She understands it is probably a pipe dream, but she feels such gloom.
Where do they take my children? She asks the dark dour dank night.
The possibilities terrify her and give her a fright.

Cletus O'Toole Yearns To Fly

Cletus O'Toole had always yearned to fly

   He joined the Air Force to give it a try

      He tried a daring chandelle

         It didn't go all that well

            Cletus crashed in the muck of a pigsty

My Heart Yearns

My heart yearns to build a bridge in this distance between you and I
To take a pen and scroll my words for you to see in the sky
My heart yearns for you to know these special thoughts, I do
Even if it is hard to understand them, as I stand before you
Today, flowers sway together in a celebration for some reason
Even in the arrival of cold air with the changes of this season
My heart yearns to sing, even after so many years, so very long
Because you always bring me the tune of this inspiring song

My Addiction Is Her

Hooked, addicted to feeling this way, 
Wanting for nothing more than,
The white that fades to absolute black, 
Helping me understand,

All my hurt, my wants, my needs, 
Painted in dark on the wall,
Painted with lines made out of pain, 
From big right down to the small,

This painting of her, her eyes and lips, 
Addict me to all I can see,
Addict me to everything painted in black, 
She’s the ache inside all of me,

Because she is my ghost, my beautiful shadow, 
She’s the one I can’t hold,
She’s my painting in black, up on my wall, 
My chillingly beautiful cold.

The Silence Which Yearns To Speak

The moonlit sea hides within the scent of waves 

which waft and lilt on shores of dreams

Evanescent thoughts of effervescent moments 

linger oncemore through nights 

where heart was young ,emotions deep and lips unsealed.

Alone I sit close to a rock which bears no colour

as softened ripples caress my memory

and silver stars outline the black of empty skies

The cold damp mist covers my eyelid

as the wind blows within my soul

the same old soul which knows each sound

each every rustle of shriveled leaves

brown whitering  leaves which leap and creep

 in prolonged darkness.

Somewhere  so far my breath still mingles

in open fields beneath a sun

which warms the skin of evergreen

amongst white orchids which fill the air

somewhere so far somewhere out there.
 
Somewhere so far the worn out chords

of a guitar still play their tunes

and broken footprints still mark the path

of my bare shoulders within your arms

as broken voices whisper no words

as early snowfall freezes the years.
.

She Yearns

Her temple yearns
For heavenly winds
That sing melodies
 
Only she can hear

It yearns
For clay soaked hands
Drenched in passion
That mold her fabrics within

Only she can feel

Love Yearns

i wander in love's alley blind,
rather than wander blindly in love's alley .

my heart will only yearn for you my love,
its up to you my love to yearn for my heart .

I cannot decide and expect you to respond,
to respond is for you to decide.

Luna Yearns

The wait had been long…
Now the world is sound asleep
Her journey begins...
To glimpse her dazzling beauty-
Yearning stirs as desire grows

On this autumn night
Luna wraps herself in clouds
Sails the galaxy
And descends to Crystal Lake...
A phenomenon passing

My Heart Yearns

As my world crumbles around me
The sadness stings like a bee

As my mind fails to keep me strong
As my life seems to be gone

The loneliness grows tall
The tears continue to fall

As my hope disappears
The joy is kept in arrears

As my heart yearns for love again
The sorrow seems to be the trend.
