    The Yearning

     Oh to feel the feverous burn
    From days belonging to younger
    To release from heavy encumbering chains
    The ravenous youthful hunger
    ...
    To return to days before passion waned
    When the blood rush heightened the senses
    And the reckless charge of a rogue wild stallion
    Ne'er could be stalled by high closed in fences

    Strength as full as a high blowing zephyr
    The will to defeat the most powerful foe
    The longing to be the great dream that awakens
    And pierces full to the depths of the soul

    Oh to release the aches of th ages
    And break free of the bondage of time
    To grasp the gold glories known to youth
    And unravel the wanderings in my mind

    By Paul A Clark

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
