Hi friends,  

Welcome back to Breath of Poetry.   

Today’s poem is about love, what love can mean and what can the absence of love can mean for somebody, and what it does to the emotions of the person when you need love but you don't have that love in your life.  

Immerse yourself in the heartfelt verses of "Longing for Love," a soul-stirring poem that explores the depths of yearning, the bittersweet experience of love, and the profound ache of unfulfilled desires. Join us on an emotional journey as the poet delves into the vivid imagery of love's presence and absence.

Love, they say, is akin to surrendering oneself to the gentle flow of a stream, a celestial dance of stars and moon on a clear night, a vibrant rainbow gracing the sun after rain, the rhythmic embrace of waves in the vast sea. It can be as comforting as hot chocolate on a winter day, as invigorating as rum on a winter's night, as refreshing as iced tea on a summer afternoon, and as intoxicating as sangria on a summer eve. Love can be all-consuming, like an incurable disease, leaving an indelible mark on the heart.

Yet, despite knowing the essence of love, the poet finds themselves trapped in a metaphorical stream devoid of current, like the obscured moon on a cloudy night, yearning for the sun's warmth after rain, standing in a waveless lake, atop a mountain bereft of snow. They feel the emptiness of cold coffee on a frosty day, an empty bottle of rum on a chilly night, boiling tea on a scorching day, the absence of wine, ice, and fruits on a sunny evening. They remain immune to the infectious grip of love, like a shark swimming unscathed.

Longing for love consumes the poet from the inside out, leaving their optimism hanging by a thread. They wait for their river to carry them away, for clouds to dissipate, for rainfall accompanied by the shining sun. They yearn for the sensation of ocean waves beneath their feet, for their heap to transform into a majestic mountain, for sunny days to relish the taste of cold coffee, for the elixir of rum to warm their soul during twilight. They long for an environment drenched in rain to savor the comforting warmth of the brew, for water to turn into wine, seeds to blossom into fruits, and melting pools to morph into glaciers. They yearn to catch the infectious love bug, only to be met with shattered hopes and tearful nights.
