Love I Have Yet to Find

My heart does yearn
For a loving smile
Hoping, searching
All the while
To find the one

It wants to love,
The perfect match
From up above.
That cherished soul,
My heart's desire,

The one who starts
My inner fire.
Looking for
But never finding,
He that makes

My heart go flying.
I've heard a touch
Is all you need
To grab your heart,
To make it speed,

While touches I
Receive each day
No single one
Is what they say.
No open flames

Or electric tingles,
Not a special
Feel that mingles
Long after the flesh
Has gone away,

No shadow-sensations
Left to play
Their empty-solid
Ghostly games
To replay jolts

Or rekindle flames.
My heart just aches
From looking for
The perfect guy, so
Now it's sore

And hollow where
My love should be
And blinded because
It tried to see
The souls behind

Each masculine face,
And now it mopes
In the empty space
That grows with all the
Long-lost tears
That embrace all of
My lonesome fears.
