What are You Waiting For?

Free-verse about a boy who has everything he wants within his reach.

What are You Waiting For?





You search for her,
Yearning for the warmth of her heart.
Stop looking so hard,
For you would find she waits
Willingly before your soft brown eyes.

She is there in your dreams,
The glow of her angelic face
Brightening the darkness under your closed lids.

As you sing your tune of longing,
Her song of love drowns your tired voice
In an ocean of infatuation.
You stare in awe,
Captivated by the beautiful harmony
Flowing from her full lips.

As your surroundings grow still,
The rhythmic beating of her heart
Lures you into the depths of a trance.

She beams at you with eager eyes,
Patiently awaiting the grasp of your hand.
Tarry not,
For she may not be within your reach much longer.
