just longing...

In My Poems

My soul was longing for love,
  my eyes were longing to see.
My heart's not beating for much; 
     it's only beating for me.

  And only longing for thee.

Nicely done, W&W. I don't usually review romantic styled poetry, but I'll give it a go.

I like the shortness of it. It gives it a refreshed, new feel. Your flow is very good, but, I think the "and" on the last line sounds...odd? I am not quite sure... That is all I can really see here. Your poem, though short, has a nice feel and gives a good image.

Keep writing!!

First off, I'd like to say that the shortness and simplicity of this poem is refreshing. You were pretty straightforward with it.

However, I was confused about when you say that "it's only beating for me.", referring to your heart. And then you say that it is longing for thee. That is a bit contradicting. But I guess that you could mean your heart is beating for yourself as of now until you are united with your lover.

Other than that, nice job! Keep writing.
