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!
