You have to wait to enter the world

For fingers, toes to become unfurled

You have to wait to come of age

Teenage hormones, filled with rage

Then, you have to wait to graduate

Take the time, to find your mate

You have to wait for health results

While all the doctors, do consult

You have to wait, to know what’s true

You have to know, what’s right for you

You haven’t got time, to sit around

This waiting game, is so profound

You have to wait, it’s so absurd

Wait really is, a four letter word

Cosmic moods of fiery night
Swirl in whispered breaths
Envelop me in sweet caress
In your ever infinite depths

Rest upon my shoulders
Let the magic take control
Fly about in vibrant splendor
Guide me to the celestial pole

Taunt me with your voices
Low in a breathless sigh
Send me through this odyssey
With the clouds upon the sky

Take me far into the wonders
Exquisite with everlasting love
Ethereal beings traveling down
From the heavens high above

I really should be fast asleep

It’s funny, I’m not tired

The night has taken over me

The light of day, expired

There’s a spider crawling up my wall
He doesn’t notice me at all

Perhaps he’s uninspired
By the fact that I’m not tired

My brain is running on caffeine
It really should be in a dream

Is that truly what I desire?
Cause I’m really not that tired

I close my eyes and try to rest

Still, visions dance before me

Why do I even bother?

Now where’s that cup of coffee?

Sweet liquid gold is most required
Oh, did I mention I’m not tired?

I wrote this in 2014 and have shared it the past couple of years. It has now become my traditional Mother’s Day Poem. For all the beautiful women who bring joy and love to child’s heart, have a blessed and beautiful day!! ❤

A mother’s love is true

For it beautifully blossoms

Like a rose, softly unfolding,

Enveloping,

Opening the heart,

Nurturing the soul

I wait upon the edge of time
Oceans carrying my thoughts
Beyond the places in my mind
Casting away memories
Written once, in rhyme

I wait upon the winds that blow
Lofting away with the clouds
And catch the colors as they flow
Lazily, ever lingering
In the moonlit glow

I wait upon the lilac skies
Surrounding, floating freely
And I shall wait forever more
Like the waves upon the sea
Calm against the sandy shore
While time still passes by me
