I Wait

I wait
I feel my heart beat wildly and slowly look to the door
I’m sure that you are there
I can feel your presence 
I sense the way you touch me though your hand I can not see 
I close my eyes and I know that it is you as the scent of your cologne fills the room 
Quietly, I settle into the chair waiting to hear a whisper or a sigh
Wanting to hear the sound of your voice
Praying to look again into your deep blue eyes but you’re not here
I know that nothing that I have is the same as it once was
I understand that it never can be again, yet I wait  
Patiently I listen as if that moment is upon me 
Nothing, I turn, and still nothing
I wait only to be disappointed but I know that you are here 
I feel you and whether it is real or imagined I hope
I cling to the hope that someday I will see you standing before me again
I wait and I will continue to wait

Lolita, you touch on so many senses in this heartfelt poem - "touch" of hand, "scent" of cologne, "hearing" whispers and sighs. Truly awesome! And thanks for your kind words on "Trail of Tears." History is filled with many injustices that inspire me to write. Love, Carolyn

Very well written, I too, have waited and waited, I finally quit waiting, it's hard when you hold your breath waiting for someone, and all you do is end up turning blue. You write beautifully, thanks for the comments.....Aleera
