Sehnsucht___by Fish
Fish, I tried to email you about your latest poem on the site, but kept getting my mail returned.
I have loads of comments about it, as it really hit a nerve with me. I won't go into details here, but if you could please send me your new email address I would really like to speak with you about it.
For those who have not yet read it, you must check it out!
Cheers, Linsixxx

Just the title alone drew me in. There is no English word for Sehsucht sadly. It is a joyful longing, and CS Lewis the great Christian writer said it was a longing so intense it was almost sickening, and the longing itself more desirable than any other wordy thing. His book "suprised by joy" is excellent.
And as for Fish's poem, it is deeply moving
