John Gondolf Poet Rhyme

Waiting For Love

A night so dark in central park
      a silence hanging in the air,
   and by the gates a woman waits
         with ruby lips and raven hair.
 
She dreams of love, as mourning dove
      trills for his mate as birds will do;
   her heart on fire with deep desire
         while waiting for her lover true.
 
Her silent plea where can he be,
      to make her wait is not his style;
  but his delay her heart’s dismay,
         it seemed so hopeless for a while.
 
Then on the slope a thread of hope
      someone is walking down the strip;
   though light is dim she knows it’s him,
         a breathless sigh pours from her lip.
 
His eyes of green can now be seen,
      his beautiful and smiling face;
   her dreams restart as lover’s heart
         held in a fathomless embrace.
