Yearning Poems
The Red Room
by Liv Atkinson
I think that if you were to crack my ribs
If you were to peel back my skin and cleave apart the muscle and cartilage and bone
Let me bleed as you dig your fingers into the cavity of my chest, clutch my heart, and pull,
If you were to take it and cut it into a million tiny pieces,
You would find a little red door
With an old brass handle.
The door would open to a room the color of merlot wine
With cherry hardwood floors.
It has yellow paper stars on the rich walls
And glossy guitars

A Renaissance Of Love
by Hébert Logerie
I spend days thinking of you
And nights dreaming of you
Your smiling image is stuck in my eyes
And your voice is buzzing in my ears
It’s fascinating after so many years
I’m still reminiscing of your sweet apple pies
When you used to spoon-feed me
And wipe my lips with kisses of honey.
I tried to forget you, to move on

I Yearn
by Everleigh Blackburn
In the quiet corners of my mind,
echoes linger,
words unspoken,
wrapped in shadows,
like whispers lost in the wind.
I reach,
fingers tracing the outlines
of invisible thoughts,
yearning for a glance,

Thinking about the one I saw in my imagination,
A kiss carried by the east wind,
Shook my body, trembled my existence.
In the garden, I dozed off in her chest,
Her words engraved in my soul,
Her lips sealed in my aching heart.
At a Long Lost Party
by Carl Halling
I yearned for another,
Who wasn’t you,
But she wasn’t there,
Unlike you,
At a long lost party
In old Cambridge town.
Did I fall
Just a little for you,
While longing for another,

avidly displaced avian
by Rikske Kessner
Once I was starling voice at dawn,
A flock of chimed echoes on my tongue,
Wheezing whistles on choralled lawn,
Each verse a mimic so sweetly sung.
Now I’m a lyrebird lost in the brush,
Framing my solos in shadowed boughs,
With heart unfolding in trembling rush,
A lonesome lilting with hidden vows.

Wehmut
by Mario Odekerken
Blasse Sommerluft
streichelt mein altes Fenster
Kindheit duftet sacht
aus vergilbten Tagebüchern
weint das Lachen von einst.
Yearning
by Mario Odekerken
Whispers of a place,
I have never truly known-
still,my heart aches there
where the sky folds into mist,
and dreams remember my name.
Silence of my time
by Aurel Mirashi
In the silence of my time,
You came and turned my world upside down.
O girl, let us stop and weep,
For we saw each other on the marble stairs,
Let us go home and kiss.
In the silence of my time
I felt your body against mine.
You shone like a diamond,
You flew like a swan,
