Languish O heart!

languish heart languish!
let me see,
how long can you sear
how long you suffer
how much can you pine.
i shall not console
nor will utter a single word
to offer you respite.
even if you burst up
 i shall not resort
to soothe your gushy wounds.
languish heart languish.

Yearning

restless is my soul
restless..restless..
esurient is my psyche
esurient ..esurient...
thirst?
yes thirst remains and ever remains.
insatiable..unquenchable..
strife?
a lot..I go on and on
striving..striving..
Goal is anywhere mine?
never know never know.
for i possess an itinerant mind.
love do i trly have?
abounding abounding..
is the love my heart carries.
beau, do I have any?
yes i wish I had
but alas could not get.
so vast is the world
sundry are suitors..
but none is so deep
 who could into the depths peep.
i adore an imaginary guy.
 i yearned and pined
searing suffering embraced I
quaffed baneful tears
but my heart often sears
for a blissful hearty life!
