Waiting For You

You promised to come back soon
Instead I received your letter of love
You had gone away to hunt for a boon 
I am dying to be with you, by Jove. 

The message from far away that you sent
Nevertheless fills me with an anticipation
It excites and spreads in air your own scent
In my otherwise forlorn, empty damnation. 

Now, in the morning, bright flowers blossom
And in them, I breathe your sweet essence
At night the twinkling stars look awesome
Reminding me of our secret acquiescence.

The distant melodious tune jingles in me 
An overpowering presence of you deep inside
The magic of your sweet words maddens me 
Tears of joy gush down my cheeks besides.

I forget myself and in the trance of your love
I believe that I am in your strong, safe arms 
I belong where you are, as if a hand in glove
My heart only beats for your love and charm. 

I am thirsty and your love’s elixir I want to sip
My world now comprises of only waiting for you
Before my patience gives me a big bang and slip  
Come soon and embrace me, love, I beckon you.
