Eyes glisten
and love songs
echo through my mind.
My heart aches with longing
to touch you,
to but lightly caress your face.
Tranquility and a state of rapture
envelop me when you are near.
I inhale your presence
and an aliveness
sparks such deep desires.
So painful for me
you share your love
with another.
Though it's breaking my heart,
I will not divulge the
depth of my secret yearning
and, never will you know
how desperately
I want you.

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..
        "Desiderata"

There is no doubt for the reader, as to the depth of your feeling for he who is the object of your longing. Very moving.

the-loner-23, glad you like it a lot.

Linda, I felt quite moved when I wrote it. Trust me, I never looked into his eyes for I would have melted into a pool of love, before him. Warm Hugs.

Seymour, thanks for responding, I am in love with every poet in here including Tiersdon, until I discoverd by chance, she is a woman! Almost fell off my chair, laughing at myself, and at that revelation.


Everything I write is revealing because I have felt "it all", that, which I have written.  I believe poetry is universal and timeless. I wrote this in 1981 and the man is still happily married as far as I know.

Mostly, I am very glad you found it enjoyable. I do too. You still inspire me intensely and I have such a large dental bill, he trying to get my foot out of my mouth! Now, I have to read you and NOT respond so quickly. You are an absolute love and we all adore you.  

I love 'feeling poems' of mine and others and I really don't wear my heart on my sleeve, except for maybe that: Toerag, for I am definitely in love with his laughter. I wish I could get more response from Icing On The Cake, for that is the love of my life...

Thank you,
Warmly,
Pat

Tranquility and a state of rapture
envelop me when you are near

I love this line of feeling...and  have felt it myself... the rest is a bit sad...I have known some of that too.
