LONELINESS POEMS
JUST FOR YOU
I have been standing here by myself.
I'm hoping you will be the one, the one
to share this place right next to me.
This spot has been empty, empty
for a long time, now.
This spot is open. Waiting just for you,
for you to fit the missing piece
into my life. To fill up the space
and take away these lonely feelings.
My life is so much brighter and happier,
if you are here by my side.
With you, I would like to share my life
and this spot where I have been standing, alone.
I hope I will find you. When I do
I want you to be the one, standing
next to me, in this spot, in this picture.

lonely heart
time after time,
i wonder why
i am cast upon this strange shore.
this place is not that special,
but i find i am here more and more.
when i hear the birds sing,
my heart feels as if it has wings.
and with the birds i want to fly
up into the beautiful, wide, open sky
heading your way.
if you let me, i'd stay.
this feeling awakens my senses,
as cool spring wind gently touch my face
and i give up all my defenses.
the sun glistens in the clear, blue sky,
sending rays to warm my heart.
but deep inside i feel a missing part,
sadness like a wave washes over me.
inside i'm really lonely,
it shows in my face, in my voice~
wonder if you're lonely like me.
like me, sitting here
feeling the peaceful sweetness of the quiet
and yet the emptiness.

"a summer walk"
it is a summer day,
with breezes sweet.
the sky is clear and pure,
with its beauty stretches high.
flying birds flutter and gawk,
cheerfully in pairs of two.
many sing sweet, melodious tone;
while others sing makes me think of you.
there are cricketts chirping near,
as i pay close attention to hear.
there are violets, some so small and lone,
that already blooming their loveliness.
there are those with petals that fall,
and soon about to die.
i stop my pace, to the side,
where the violets are,
to wipe away the tears from my face.
i sit alone and there
the violets comfort my lonely heart.

Moments In My Mind
As I walk along the shoreline
My thoughts are turned to you
My mind begins to wonder
As I see the bay view.
I think of how I want to see you,
Walking with me today,
Wishing you are here with me
And not so far away.
Thinking how perfect it would be,
You and I,
Being together so close
And sharing a moment of time.
I stop along the shoreline to ponder,
As I write your name in the sand,
Thinking how I want to see you
And feel the warm touch of your hand.
I see all our moments together,
As I walk along and water touching my feet.
Wondering if you have the same feelings
And thinking when we are going to meet.
I pray it will be soon.
I'll hold the memories so dear.
Share with you the moments in my mind,
When you are close and near.

The Shore
Sitting by the bay shore,
I imagine about what I could have want more.
Watching the waves crashing against the rock,
I wonder if I was being watched.
Listening to the chirping of the birds,
I wish I understood if it have been in words.
Feeling the wind brushing against my face,
I wish I was in another time,
in another place.
Smelling the scent of the fresh air,
I feel the presence of someone's stare--
turning to see,
there is no one but me;
sitting by the bay shore.

I Need You
I think thoughts of you,
Every part of the day and night.
Most times I don't know what to do.
For memories of you holding me tight
and feeling your closeness
just keeps rolling gently into my mind.
My other thoughts would slip away
and suddenly I find
myself deeply in thoughts of you and me.
In my thoughts, that's where
I want to be...
With you close by my side,
showing your concern and care.
When I get these feelings,
I miss you so much.
My soul aches to be with you there.
My heart throbs for your hugs.
I pondered these lonely feelings inside my mind.
How will I make it through the year,
without you being near?
How will I survive
not having you at my side?
I don't know how long I can wait,
Missing you is just too much.
I'm not sure if I can take this anymore,
when you're all I'm waiting for.
You're all I need.

THE DREAM
I slept and awoke
From an unpleasant dream.
Fear was the pain of my wound.
I saw you walking listlessly,
Going off so silently,
like a shadow in the dark.
I called out to you,
My words didn't ring through.
You did not hear.
I saw you in my mind,
No more love will I find
All words were forgotten.
I arise, I face the sunrise,
wondering whether if it is true.
Will I lose you?
Will I never see you again?
My hopes hung low,
I'm afraid in the same way
you will go.
