Save me the pain

The best things in life are unexpected - because there were no expectations. Eli Khamarov

It takes so long, the expecting that I seek,

I don’t see it coming, not even soon,

it’s the wet kiss on my yearning cheek

tomorrow, the fall in the trees on the moon

 

the aching, the silver glimmer in the dew,

the man who’ll come out of the little child,

to look further than today, to see the withdrew

of the cold out of the ice, storming mild,

 

I’m tired of waiting till somebody tells,

knowledge before the knowing, I’ll be,

open the doors without a key, without magic spells,

 

make me drunk, yet even before drinking wine

whatever I say, whatever you see in me

save me the pain, just save me the time.

I liked this alot
Something about your writing is magical
You can take one places

This impatience just shows the urgency to live free
With no waiting and no restrictions
Can you build me a little home here ?
I can live in your words

Gorgeous

Thank you very much, Nisreena, very nice comment. 'A house where love lives is called home', I read this somewhere, so my advice is not alone to build a house but to fill it with love and you will have you home. Have a good day, Nisreena. :) Rudi

Very good words and thoughts.
"make me drunk, yet even before drinking wine

You are welcome.

it feels like you're impatient for the good things and hoping they come soon, an excellent write :)

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Thank you so much. It's a bad quality, being impatient, but folding this feeling into a poem, can make you think about it, to see the relativity of time. Thanks for your kind remarks, Richard. :) Rudi

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Thanks Ana B., really appreciated. :) Rudi

'It takes too long' and 'I'm tired of waiting' - fitting lines demonstrating impatience. The photo strengthens the message times waits for no one and life is short. So, lets put it all on the table now so we don't waste our lives waiting to see it. A great write, Rudi!

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Thank you, FT, glad you passed by commenting my poem. :) Rudi

Your words are filled with emotion and heartfelt Rudi. The last stanza is my favorite and seriously gave me goosebumps. I'm in awe of your talent my friend. Incredible as ever!

Waiting is the hardest part (Tom Petty)..Sometimes a moment can seem like a year. Anticipating, craving - desiring, and assuming disappointment. To me it's almost like a coming of age; the man who’ll come out of the little child, to look further than today, to see the withdrew of the cold out of the ice, storming mild. It is beautiful writing Rudi; the ending roars passion, and many individual lines could be pondered. I love it. Thank you so very much. You were born to write. Just amazing. Dale

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Thank you, Dale, for your kind remarks. It's also one of my older sonnets that I have translated. Glad you like it. Have a fine Easter weekend. Have also a sonnet about Good Friday that I have posted yesterday. Thought it would fit, being that day. :) Rudi

[Confuser]

You're welcome. I thought this was one of the sonnets you referred to. I will look for the other; And yes you guys have a wonderful weekend..Raining ruined trip to the park, but that's okay.

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Here the rain has stopped and I've already seen the sun, so maybe tomorrow we can go bicycling. :) Rudi

[Confuser]

Great: have a wonderful day!
