Waiting
~Knight Dreams~


Sun hanging low now.
with golden rays here fading.
There upon my horse,
I sat there just debating.

You never saw me there.
But I loved you from the start.
While you only said my name.
I had given you my heart,

When others had your eye.
It was me there on the phone.
Hoping you would notice.
But I sat alone.

To see you kiss another,
Was more than I could take.
So I took another girl,
But trust me she's a "fake."

I always knew that I was yours,
Simply for the asking.
So I waited for your love,
My tears I was a masking.

Now I'm waiting by the woods.
For you to come to me.
Darkness seem to come on fast
It's you I hope to see.

The light of day now passing.
WIth tears alone, I'm helpless
For the night has come and gone,
with nothing but the darkness.

Brought me to a place I'd forgotten I'd once been... and made me long for that chocolate donut in the pantry!!!

A knight in passion's torment makes for lovely poetry, dear sir. I enjoyed your expressive verse.
