I do not want for love Yet I yearn for closeness I do not want for happiness Yet I yearn for laughter I do not want for riches Yet I yearn for simplicity I do not want for solitude Yet I yearn for stillness I simply yearn for something To take away the ache Of your absence in my heart Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight.........

ah..I was just trying to explain this feeling a few days ago... I said, it isn't like I want long term, but I want something. What I didn't understand is something has a name and nothing else seems good enough... an ache it is. Well done. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

I like the simplicity in this one. A yearning for something so necessary, "To take away the ache" Good write! Janette always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same |

Some of the most simple things in life carry the most impact and leave the treasured moments causing us deep yearnings when they are absent. You voice it well and the format was just as enjoyable as the content. Well done. |

Yo dear RDB, I'm afraid I don’t quite understand this. Is this a simple case of impatience? Love Bobby |

smile-- it's like looking in a spiritual refrigerator, that's fully stocked, and then saying "there's nothin' to eat". ohhhhhhhh...I understand this. You are looking most lovely, too, I might add. |

Roneice, I reallly felt the longing and the ache in your beautiful loving heart. I cannot help but think that the object ~ rather, 'subject' ~ of your affection is a Frenchman! I believe I have a very good understanding of where you're coming from with this well-stated and emotive write ~ and you said it perfectly! Love 'n hugs, Lindylou |
