Caroline Cécile Delacroix Poet Free verse

Waiting For You

Never did I 
entertain such a dark 
outcome in the pursuit 
of my dream with you.

 I held you so dear,
 my trust in you so deep
 harbored such high regard
and I watched you part
 screamed inside
 had to let you decide 
felt tied, chained
 by the word that I knew
 and my eyes wouldn't,
 yet couldn't turn away.
 
I could have killed him
 with my bare hands
 but couldn't let defeat
 enter my dream, now
 my sorrow so complete.
 
And I wait, 
like a breath of fresh air
 inside the recess
 of your mind, and I wait
 Like a spring scented air
 that blows softly 
inside your heart, 
for the day, long awaited
 of your return.

Poet Tacito October 8, 2012 at 8:31 AM Damn, I understand this feeling. Love shall overcome. The ending hit me quite personally. Excellent job!

Tim Ryerson October 2, 2012 at 8:08 PM Ummm...Okay! I confess!... I got a SERIOUS crush on you too!..That smile of yours makes me week in the knees...Are you married? If not, I'm sure some lucky guy has already swept you off your feet....Mercy me, what am I DOING??...I'm gonna hate myself in the morning!...

Tim Ryerson October 2, 2012 at 7:49 PM Caroline Cecile Delacroix!...Where the heck have you been?... Were you here all the time and I just over-looked you?? Please don't take offense...but this poem and the other ones I read are FAR different (and much more compelling) than what you've been posting on Facebook!...So glad to be back in touch, my good friend! - Tim
