Seeking, Searching, Yearning

Sometimes we cannot settle for the mundane.

I crave a heart,

one free to love

with purity,

dedication and

abandon.

 

One who would

share my existence

with all it's

ups and downs,

it's pleasures

and its pains.

 

A  soul who wishes for

life in all it's jagged,

splintered forms

and who longs for

the womb

of carnal satisfaction,

 

and who is willing

to give her all

in return

for lust's delights,

devoted

to her absolute

fulfilment.

Well penned John and I hope you are successful in finding a Goddess who fits this bill. Now how long have you been looking :)

Cheeky mare! But I like it. Spot on. Sometimes we look forever for perfection but as you know we all have to compromise lol. many thanks for reading and reviewing. Have a great Saturday. Just waiting for Boris to speak at 16:00

[Chris Shaw]

Yep. It's not looking good is it?

[AJNJ]

Commitment is an ugly word that spoils the best, most fulfilling of associations. We wish for something beautiful and it seems that way for a while but I always end up with egg on my face. :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ah I get that AJNJ. I have eaten a fair few omelettes!
Many thanks.

Hello John. We will know few people who will excite our mind and our body. I liked the want and the need in these words. Thank you for sharing your amazing poetry.

That is so true Coyote John. Many thanks for reading.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome John.

when the physical and emotional are so well tied together...there is intense passion.
And relationships are certainly sharing ups and downs, and downs, and downs.
Many don't go that far...they only want the ups.

I like "the womb/of carnal satisfaction"---
to be loved so strongly that we feel like are really in each other's body, heart and soul.

Agreed that feeling of being deeply embedded in a person both emotionally and physically. Thank you Jacob.

[Cherrie Palmer]

I think one of the true joys of having a little age is we know what we like and what we have to offer. All i have to add is Happy hunting

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ha,ha. Thanks Cherrie. I fear my hunting days, other than in poetic terms, is well ended!

[Cherrie Palmer]

Lol, well then you can dream of the hunt

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Oh indeed so and they are some dreams lol! My 'strap-line' for years has been 'We Can Dream'

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Oh and did I mention a' muse' ment too lol

[zennedpen]

That's an interesting poem, with a good mix of elements to it.

The heart is empty of love, until the loins kick in to grab it, but then the mind must be realigned for love to still remain love.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Spoken like the true follower of Zen and all too true I have to say. many thanks.

[zennedpen]

Ha, ha, yes, thanks. I try to live up to my name here....

[Relic]

Sounds like a good deal to me. I guess we're all looking for someone to co-exist with who has the same values and desires.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ah exactly that Relic. i guess most of us make the 'unhappy' compromise lol! Many thanks.

[Briana O'Connor]

Very beautifully written. you elegantly describe a yearning for an emotional connection with a hint of physical desire. thanks for sharing. best wishes to you.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you so much Briana and good wishes to you too.

I've gone straight to Amsterdam for some reason.
Though I could just put your poem on the lust site and see how I get on, or get off as the case may be.
If you're in tier 1, can you get up to mischief with the girl in tier 3, or is that a no, no.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ha Paul, A dirty dog and all that! Anyway mixing tiers would lead to tears! Many thanks for such a humorous review!
