Don'T Quit Your Dream- POTD

Night stirred memories, once forgotten of the days I burnt in love when you consumed my days, and I carried you like a queen in the palanquin of my thoughts! without forethought, to elbow out the marauding of memories, I set out, travelling miles, my heart throbbing in my chest my legs shaking and trembling, finally reaching your hermitage casting away my stilted pride, expectant and anxious, I waited at your doorstep to seize the moment to renew a commitment and knocked hopefully at your door. while listening intent for the approaching footsteps and the sound of the key turning on the latch did I see a face peering through the window, and quickly withdraw? was it the face I longed to see? time skipped quickly by, hours flitted between limping dawns and staggering nights how long had I waited there? Was it weeks, months, or years? I knew roots had grown under my feet and my body had vegetated into a tree in Time’s eternal motion, the tree will remain there as a trunk of fossilized dream till your love charges life into it!

I can only add to the applause, Valsa! Such skill to write exceedingly clever phrases, e.g. "stilted pride, just for starts, without detracting one bit from the sadness, the long waiting. Elizabeth

And don't quit yours, Valsa. I love the many, many wonderful expressions in this piece, i.e. "the marauding of memories"; "the palanquin of my thoughts"; "limping dawns and staggering nights". Congrats on POTD and BOL in the contest.
