Longing
Longing
Here I lie down
Longing for you
Longing for a love
I want to believe is true
A spiritual longing fraught with questions
After all my tears on this earth
Have I learned any lessons
After all my years since birth
Do I deserve any blessings
I long to believe
That you are what I have prayed for
I have lived a dangerous existence
Are you to blame for my breaths persistence
Is this the time
My time?
Our time?
About this poem
Single, male never married, this would be apropos. Senior citizen? Well, I would not say so. Not yet anyway. But I met someone who has taken my breath away. Thus; Longing
