its every heart's desire

to stand a little closer

to love's dear fire

no longer an outcast

but a cherished quest

where the mind soon learns

the body for its turn burns

and burns

and burns

through out midnight's lonesome

dreary

the lust of the graceless youth

eventually adjourns

leaving the aged to stare

distantly off

to a long now left behind time

where wonder and youth once intertwined

why is it that we squirrel away our most

cherished fervent dreams

and give in to the grim standards of

society's limits

where common place opinions prevail

such misery is detail

over the sharp poignancy of never long

forgotten private pride and schemes

the lovely hoped for house

has been attained

a job worth having

that has come to

though that deep incessant longing

in me still remains

ever brave and constant

for that unnamed someone

I can not yet seem to have

I hold steadfastly onto the luminous

hope filled focus

I'm like a barge without a river

such thriving thoughts

breed within my mind

that maybe one day I just might

indeed meet

this adored specific one

that I have longed for ..........sigh....

for so long

I truly love my devoted husband

yet I feel no way near with him complete

its hard to believe that one perfect piece

to this glorious puzzle

has blundered

to be from me so far removed

and utterly astray

but I can dream

and I can long

(and oh how I do so longingly long)

I can hope too

but best of all

I can pray

ah, yes indeed

that I surely can do

and just perhaps

if I'm lucky enough

with God's love

that one elusive but necessary

and oh so precious piece

will be revealed to me

one remarkably blessed day

please note love

I am still waiting

Just as I always have

just for you..............
