Wait… is a Four Letter Word – #poetry

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

No need to paddle

When two can find solitude

Nestled in the reeds

Against a hazy backdrop, they kissed until they couldn’t breathe. He knew she had to go, but he wouldn’t let her leave. Under the blossoming cherry tree, he professed his love, hoping, she would not flee. Still she moved away from him, afraid she would stay forever, which was his idea, all along, indeed, it was rather clever.

The sun was setting quietly, behind them, where they stood, not taking any chances, he kissed her, again, and kissed her good. She kissed him back quiet gingerly, then with a passion, sure; staying in his loving arms, was truly his allure.

When the sky ignites

A shiver, frisson, escapes

Earth bows to power
