Love Missed While Waiting

Westward blown… 
sprinkled mist of wind’s wisp 

bathed in summer’s blazing heat 

upon iron frame bench I sit 
my legs they dangle above madness, 
sandy ledge, 
not a cloud shield me from sun’s bake 
baking my starving arms… 
hunger’s thrum 

I wait here for love to come 

my eyes they roam the torrent angry sea 
splash of wave’s cast swab my face 
amid gentle breeze 

so consumed with the wind’s mist,
   the sun’s bake,   the sea’s splash,   
my hunger’s sass  
I missed the love that walked pass 
 
daydreaming… what a drag!
