I WAITED

Recollections on the way it used to be. Nostalgic moments of the past.

                                  I WAITED ...

Many moons ago since I waited for that call...

Across the Milky Way I searched for you,

counting many stars along its path.

Cruel were those silent night(s) ...

I hugged my pillow real tight.

The yearnings grew - just didn't know what to do

but still... I waited.

Now fate has played it's part, brought you back to me.

Still lingering for your touch ...your manly aura

passionately takes hold of mind and heart and soul.

My senses numbed with shame - for wanting you so much!

for though there came another to comfort and console

only you can make me lose control!

Though he be of manly voice and cute physique

enough to tempt and conform ...

nothing can compare with your tender touch.

I WAITED ...

and in my dreams I prayed ...

'If only you could have stayed - to make me whole,

but tempted by worldly things - you strayed'.

That imaginative figment of distance and circumstances

                           has kept us apart ...

you went away and took my heart.

With perfect love there is a price to pay, 

you deserved to have your say.

I have resigned myself to think that love will 

               never come my way

since nature has provided all superficial things to entice

               vain men of today:

left me devoid of the beauty they crave and one thought,

             "Only in my dreams!"

Your lines kitty speak of love, loss and betrayal. They tell me that even after all that can happen in a relationship, there can still be love. It appears here, that the he is still very much yearned for and sadly missed. Someone so very special to you if you say you can never love again. May your dreams alwats bring you comfort my friend.

Hi Chris. I know you are familiar with the quote I passed on to Jacob,Top O the morning to you..." My muse is getting busy again in a more acceptable climate. I thought yesterday,' No need for a holiday abroad with the good weather we have been having. Thank you so much for a meaningful review. Have a wonderful Sunday moving on to the week ahead. Keep safe!

Came back for a second read kitty. Hope you are keeping safe and well. A top of the morning to you on this so far, sunny morning after the misery of yesterday.

Sometimes, someone touches or ignites you in such a way that you'll forget anything out of it in your entire life again. Such a beautiful poem of missing the special in your life. Great work Kitty :)

............. thoroughly enjoyed but mighty sad .. there is nowt worse than feeling betrayed is there..

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and very expressive...like that song "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with"---
although if the one we are with is our pillow...we feel pretty discouraged...
My pillow and i have off and on had a relationship...so i get it.

Good day to you Jacob.As some would say,"Top of the morning to you and the rest of the day to myself!" Our weather is baffling but pleasant most days. Thank you for this review. So comforting to know that I am not alone. Keep safe
