Patiently, I Wait

Each stroke of brush, each tender touch
brings me 'round to thoughts of you.
Each rush of air, the coldness holds
breathless, mysts rise from this view.

Inside me, once again this morn,
I ride the mood of changing pace.
Patiently I wait the kiss,
the words expressed, to me embrace.

I wonder where your self is held,
in whose care your guard is worn.
I feel the shield, and watch the door
to swing one way, and still I mourn

the emptiness of you not there,
the sense of want with no regret.
I steal the moments from your eyes
so framed, I have you near and yet

the not so near, when you are gone.
These rooms without, speak volumes of.
But only whispers can I hear
the fragileness of sometimes love.

I walk the halls in "loves me not"
and bury deep the heart of me.
The evening hours still the void
until the dreams behind eyes see.

The space between the lines of time
sell me out, in written word.
Imagine " if's" would sacrifice
for you and only you, preferred.

I'll light this candle just for you
so in the darkness you will find
a way to reach me, be not far
for you are always on my mind.

Maureen

This is such a beautiful poem of love and longing; loss and hope. Sounded good to the ear, as well.
