Waiting

Waiting 





Years have passed by
as I endlessly wait,
Sure you are at peace
crazy... that's my trait,

Life a dejected flute
that you no longer hold,
Its many holes waiting 
for your tender kiss,
Warm breath to be blown
inside of me,
Magical melodies ...

Those loving moments 
longings that got buried,
Waiting to erupt 
anytime passion volcano,
Molten smooth lava
to unleash my desires,
Asleep on flames ...

Drumming beats 
of a broken heart,
Losing all rhythm
waiting to be mend,
My soul you took along
a mere body now crawls,
Abraded bleeding ...

Faint colourful images
treasured deep within,
Spirits that intrigue
for all times to come wait,
Be sung as regional songs
those tragic tales of love,
Glorious pages of history ..
