Lullaby At Noon

My ears flirt with the echo
Of a passing voice
Days ago, I lusted for more of it
Squinting at every passing voice.
Yesterday unend I stood at my window,
Expectant, Compulsive!

Today,
Like a helmit nostalgic for home
I waited for the passing lark.
Wow! Here you stand
My nightingale!

With your euphonic tune
Like music from heaven
Sing my name, call me Romeo
Paris or Samson,

For, in that tune
Shall I pronounce my vow:
The oath of my life!

I want to thank you so much for your kind words on my writings Abraham. I am so far behind on everything including my life away from PoetrySoup. So will you please forgive me if I am not right on top of my comments and thank you's. I am trying. It is a pleasure to read your poetry today as I leave you this thank you. Love and blessings, Carol
