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.

I like the simplicity in this one.  A yearning for something so necessary,

Good write!

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

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

Dear Roniece, I'm sure each and everyone of us would love to be able to take away the

ache in your heart. You are a beautiful person and I'm so pleased to call you my friend, may God bless you my friend. Love.

I never want you to ache inside.  This is a wonderful poem.

Love,
