Anticipation

Long awaited moments,

exchanges of loves words

Time withheld me from him,

my heart it did so yearn

Anticipation grasped my heart,

pacing were my feet

Why oh do you taunt,

Time unforgiving me

My anxious heart not sleep,

then phone call came to meet

excitement filled within me,

Time taunting me complete

Visions I had gathered,

Of days we spoke of love

Anticipation gathered,

To meet the one I loved

A mix of all emotions,

Unbridled and so sweet

Will he think me fair,

Or disappointment meet?

I moved unto the grass,

Coolness beneath my feet

Stood in anticipation,

For the one to greet

He told me what to look for,

I peered down that long road

A glimmer perhaps him,

nothing sigh… why so slow

The sun it shone so brightly,

The breeze it moved my hair

Heart raced of anticipation,

Please let him soon be here

I brushed my clothes and primmed

I wonder what he’ll see

A silly simple school girl,

Someone he hopes to keep?

Alas he has arriven,

Slowly coursing on towards me

As though time had stood still

Both smiling happily

Our eyes locked in their wonder,

A tender slow embrace

Warm lips meet one another,

Bonded sweet of lovely taste

Oh gentle man my loving soul,

Where have you always been?

Lock your arms around me

This love is not a sin
