~A poem I wrote while I was waiting for my husband to return~
Waiting For My Love
As I see you walk away,
I try to freeze time in my hands.
Within my mind’s eye, I see images of ocean waves,
mixed with smiles, and can hear your laughter.
Once again, I see exactly where I am,
for a fantasy cannot be lived for long,
when other things come to interrupt;
a fly, an itch, a need, due to thirst-
all of those human annoyances
that tend to get in the way.
Let me be heard within this fantasy,
let me tell the future how to form,
and maybe with a hope and a prayer,
something there will manifest into another dream of you.
For even though I hold you in my thoughts,
I feel you sifting through like sand,
and I can’t chase the winds that rush upon the waves,
or capture the sounds of your laughter,
they’re all but gone.
And so I sit here all alone,
wondering if you will be back once more,
to fill my heart with the unquenchable love
that I am longing for.
Only you can satisfy my innermost desires,
for my heart belongs to you, and only you,
and so I wait.
Until next time, stay safe, and be blessed!
