Poem #26: Longing
#26 of Poetry
A poem about desire for love.
Longing
The need
The need is dire
The need to crave
Drained of body
And of mind
The need controls
Body succumb
To the need
The craving
The craving in need
To crave what's pure
Body is mind
Body is broken
Craving shudders
Mind crashing
To the craving
The want
The want for love
The want to learn
Accept surroundings
Drink in the light
The want complies
Thoughts determined
Of the want
The desire
The desire for need
The desire for others
Corrupt in thought
Breaking, eroding
Desire the embers
Ideas compelled
For the desire
The need is constant
The cravings are instant
The want is calling
Body sighs
Mind listens
Desire is screaming
This is evident:
Patience in Longing.
