I Wait

by Kate   Mar 22, 2006


Down on the patio
I watched him from above
Although his voice not of honey
His song was full of love

So as I watched him serenade
I cried up in my room
Mesmerized by his gestured hands
They wait to pull me out of doom

I knew I shouldnt grab them
But they seemed just oh so warm
Then they moved quite suddenly
To let another in his arms

I had given into temptation
And he snatched the floor from under me
Even though I stood-up
I sank back down to my knees

I pretend her in his arms I did not see
And his song I did not hear
For I know that these I did
And fear that single tear

He is just too powerful
I cannot brake away
So I just lie here waiting
Waiting for that special day

In my heart I know that day to never come
Still I have no choice I wait
For I fear that if I leave
When I return it will be too late

    Very nicely done. What a wonderful, heartfelt poem. I would lose the comma's at the end of your lines, as you don't need them and in this stanza:

    I knew I shouldnt grab them,
    But they seemed just oh so warm,
    Then they moved quite suddenly,
    To let another in his arms,

    I would delete the word just. Read it aloud and it flows without it. This is nicely done and I like your style. I look forward to reading more from you.

    In answer to your question, I have written most of my life, taking 20 years off due to a lack of inspiration.
