The Long Wait

I wait for my love
Looking at the building for the tenth time 
She sighs, then snicker to herself
In expectation of the million surprises  
life and her love 
Would swing then spring 
As she awaits her love
Humming for our love
I vision a million places
As l viewed the passing faces
Fixated only on my love
I faxed my care and kisses 
Prayed on my hands and knees 
Passionate for your return 
I ache with pain
I sob and strain 
Stretching and scanning 
For your promised return 
With every tickling seconds
Pacing into minutes
Pounding into hours
I begin to rave 
As l began a hate
Of every thought of loosing you
My world is chilly 
my words becomes still                            
I rage then wave 
To the moving world 
Screening the movie
My world has become 
As l await my love
With his promised return 
   
     Dedicated to Khashoggi fiancee 2018
