Longing Poem by Nosheen Irfan

Longing

Rating: 5.0


Hold me tight under a star-studded sky,

Of your strong, sinewy arms I have dreamed

Don't speak, thirsty lips don't seek words

But the silent language of primal desires

Let your touch soak me in moonbeam

Slowly pouring into me the lunar serenity

Come and fill my empty existence with meaning

Too long I have lived with crippled longings

The ache is growing deeper, beyond enduring

Sighs leave my body in rapid profusion

Engulfed I am, free me from myself

Come and light this night with your fire.

Love this. Your powerful romantic imagery conveys fiery desire. The imagery of the university, the stars, the moon, fire- -fit perfectly. Nicely done.

Don't speak, thirsty lips don't seek words But the silent language of primal desires Let your touch soak me in moonbeam What sensuous feel these lines give! Their effect too is beyond words! ! Brilliant! !

The relentlessness of your expressed need strikes me the deepest. I consider this poem to be brave in that way.
