Longings

To long is to love.

To long

To deeply long

Can be an unbearable sensation

Like an itch, you can't scratch

Making you want to crawl out of your skin

But to stick with it

To go deeper into it

Letting it consume you

Letting it build

Finding that underneath the initial discomfort of neediness

The guilt of wanting so badly

The shame of not having it yet

And the pain of potentially never attaining it

There is pleasure, intense pleasure

To open to the longing

To desire with your whole heart

Is to come to life

To be lit up from within

It is a huge turn on

An immense gift

My aching

My yearning

Is a blessing

A reminder that I am fully alive

Fully awake

Aroused by my hunger for love

My thirst for life

Connected to my soul, my heart, my passion

Reminding me of what's possible

And of my ability to create

Such beauty

Such bliss

In the depth of my longing
