My Heart Is In Need Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Here it is at one-oh-five.
The air is fresh...
And I'm alive.
Wanting more...
For someone near,
To hear...
My yearning.

Dark with sparkling stars I see.
So clear and quiet...
Are the trees.
No wind to drift...
Or lift a leaf,
No breeze.
To seize me.

I want a touch,
A kiss or two.
From you...
I want this,
To come true!
My emptiness,
Seems endless...
And subdued!
And I,
Am too...
Without you.

Now it's close to 5 A.M.
I'm driving...
And the dawn begins.
I hear birds sing.
The mist appears...
In view.
And you?
Can not undo,
My love!

I bleed emotionally.
And my heart,
Is in need!
Yes,
Deep inside of me...
Is you!
And,
This need!
