My Heart Yearns For You
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
In the depths of night, my heart yearns for your presence,
But all I find is an echoing silence, a painful essence.
Longing, like a flame, dances within my soul,
Drawing me closer, consuming me whole.
Absence, a merciless thief, steals your touch,
Leaving me empty, longing for you so much.
In dreams, I seek your face, your tender embrace,
But waking reality offers no solace.
My nights are filled with whispers of your name,
Aching for the day when our love will reclaim,
The distance between us, the void we endure,
For in that moment, our connection will be pure.
-
Constant
Poet: Arthur Franklin Fuller
City throngs are hastening by,
Seeking pleasures new;
Alone am I thought in their midst,
While I am away from you.
Scenes both strange and wonderful,
Cease not all day through;
Yet nought can quell the loneliness,
While I am away from you.
Music, drama, gala things.
Pleasure's great ado —
But my little world is blank and void,
While I am away from you.
Glad the hours spent by your side,
Soothing their review;
Sweet content can ne'er return.
While I am away from you.
-
Lonely And Still
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Days stretch ahead, lonely and still
My heart feels like it's standing still.
Every moment ticking closer to the time
When I know you'll once again be mine.
The longing grows consuming my days
I miss your touch, your loving ways.
Without you, it is hard to exist
Ours is an unbreakable bond, a tight-knit bliss.

Missing You
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
My love, never fear -
Every day you are away
I am here to stay true

I know one fine day soon, my love, I can embrace
As I am missing you more and more each day.

Not Enough Time
Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2011
I desperately wish,
I had much more time.
I hate the fact,
I'm leaving you behind.
If only things,
Were different this time.
You'd come with me,
And I'd be so kind.
I take you places,
You'd want to see.
And spend some time,
Behind lock and key.
But I do believe,
We will meet again.
As you're my soulmate,
And that's to the end.

When We Are Apart

But soon the day will come
Together with you, we will be happy
Days with you are awesome.
So while you are away
Lonely as I may be
I will miss you each day
But I look forward to your return in every way!

I'm, Very Lonely Here
Poet: James Munce
I'm very lonely now, love,
Since you are gone away;
There's nothing left me to remove
The languor of the day.
I miss you, dearest, from my side.
This drooping heart to cheer;
To none my sorrow can confide —
I'm very lonely here.
The spot on which we parted.
With grief I often see;
When there, quite broken-hearted,
I sit and sigh for thee!
Those pleasant scenes my heart do pain,
And force the scalding tear —
Oh! hasten, love, and come again,
For I'm so lonely here.

Memories Of Love
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
In the corridors of my mind, memories reside,
A tapestry of moments, forever tied.

As I delve into the realm of what once was, and tried.

Missing You
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2020
My house is oh so quiet,
I can do anything I like;
Have cookies in the middle of the night,
Or dance with no one in sight.

Something's still missing to me.
It's you who should come join me here,
I really do miss you a lot, that is so clear.

A melody that resonates, an offering it brings.

We find solace, unity, and eternal emotion.
