    Why must one yearn with all one's soul

    Why must one yearn with all one’s soul?

     

    O Night wrapped around me, leave me in my morning.

    I’m awake in my own words

    rewriting the force of the new day

    with words that never perish,

    though the sun is always rising on the same dream,

    where I walk away from the chaos and begin to run;

    feet pounding out the memory of tears,

    licking water from swollen lips that kissed

    this carefully ordered chaos till I tasted the salt of eternity.

     

    Gazing at the infinite sky that stretches

    along the oblong to forever eternal,

    I pull back the edge of infinity,

    falling backward in time to the rains

    of an unforgettable spring,

    holding myself within its timeless hurt.

    This was very passionate, expressing unfufilled desires. The sadness and despair are evident in this. The word choice gave this poem it's strength with artfully crafted similes and a lot of raw emotion.
