Waiting
In the agony of waiting
My thoughts dissipate
Shatter in a splintering
flash
Glass, vibrant
glistening
scatters
Like lost dreams
on the dusty floor
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the agony of waiting
My dreams flow
Falling into a
reflected pool
Deep in the chasm
of an endless wait
In the dank dampness
Deep down among
the memories
In the agony of waiting
I lose my sense
of time
And float on
an ocean of
stillness
Listless, lifeless
Amid the ruins of
another time
Alone and
without purpose
In painful reflection
of then,
now
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the agony of waiting
I am tortured --
my soul lies
enmeshed
Entwined, entrapped --
in the waiting, needing,
longing
Unfulfilled thirst
hunger
Waiting
for your existence
Your touch
your soft breath
upon me
Waiting
