Image for the poem Paradox of Longing

Paradox of Longing

A hollow shell
The chill breeze whispers through
But barely a quiver on skin it caresses
Deep within, an emptiness extends
Where feeling itself seems dead
Yearning for warmth
A comforting glow
Yet at its touch, a hidden seed of anguish
A tangled dance
This push and pull
To crave and reject
