Outburst Of Yearnings Poem by P K Joy

How much have I longed to merge in you!
Day and night I’d been dreaming of you.
I lacked the courage to disclose to you
But prayed that someone should act between the two.
Your actions showed that you too had yearned
For me, but a disclosure your doubts had blocked.
Timidity and doubt kept our yearnings corked
To the point of blowing up. Our souls squirmed.

At long last I nervously held your hand and said that
My suppressed yearnings would burst my heart.
Pat then you said you’d been long dying to hear it
And any longer delay would have exploded your heart.
As we revealed, lightning flashed, embraces followed,
Souls merged, kisses fused, passion traversed,
Love murmured, thunder and rain drummed and danced,
Shackles broke and handcuffs loosened and dropped.
