Waiting for you

Waiting for you

A Poem by Ashwin Shanker
"

My first poem on love.

"

Wishing I could get a glimpse of you.

I long for nothing more the whole day

than to see a smile on your face for something I say.

I don’t ask for too long, a few hundred hours would do.

 


Hoping I could hold your hand.

Take you around the park, around the flowers;

you would rest your head on my shoulders.

Violins would hum soulful tunes in this blessed land.


 

I long for that day when I could call you mine.

Our families united, our bodies united, our fates blessed,

you would look the prettiest bride, like a goddess you’d be dressed.

I don’t want to ask for much of your time; a lifetime would do just fine.

Ashan,
Well written words expressing a young man longing for the attentions of a young lady. It is hard to find originality on this subject but I enjoyed your creativity. Your expressions showed the depth of the young man's desires.

Thank you for the review Davy.
love the "hundred hours" and the "lifetime" parts especially...

i like to see other males show a sensitive side---we often put up walls for show...and it keeps us from many relationships that could be so good.

A heart undressed, beautifully expressed!
I'm reminded of my heart waiting, and my minds impatience!
Makes the reward of true love all the better!
I hope perfect love makes haste for you!
