Yearning For My Love Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

When I began to know and understand
That feelings and wishes are but short-lived
One such longing for love but curable
Such as one has on a day for lovers like this
Yes, I really wish I would reach out and touch you, my love!

Sitting in the silence of my lonesomeness
Images of your bubbly-self, playing vividly in my mind
Even as I imagine the lovely expression in your beautiful eyes
Your face lit up in that electrifying smile of yours
Oh, how I wish you were here with me, my wife!

I really miss you, sweetheart!
