Not In a Rush

I don’t want sin for a season, I want love for a lifetime. It is a curious thing, this thing we call love. We think we find someone who seems to fit us like a glove We enjoy them, they enjoy us We laugh, we cry, we feel, there is give , there is take We give in, we walk away, we come back again There is love between us, yet the love cannot be allowed to grow Cause the ground is shallow yet, too many rocks, to many stones This man I have fallen in love with. I tried to save my heart He has allowed me in for a little while, for how long I do not know He reaches out, he does not want to let me go So I wait, yet I want to move on, do not want to waste my time I feel him, I feel his heart, I hear his words Conveying to me there is something deeper Something more real, more concrete, more strong Not willing to allow it to just fade this song in his heart So I will wait for a little while, I will see if the waves will recede. Not in a rush, waiting, Not running nor retreating.

I like how the title in this poem is integrated into the body. This is excellent! The piece flows very well and brings of what love is all about. The last stanza is right on point. Great job! ~Joseph
