Notes About The Poem

Waiting Sings Along With Torment

WAITING SINGS ALONG WITH TORMENT Each night aroma of jonquils arrive to tickle me yet no console as I am a slave to your absence as bright full moon slowly slit the dormant sea in the field of black, hours, I crave for your essence. The cold breeze of December can send the shivers running intermittent into my back but weak for within I am frozen waiting for the warmth you alone can deliver. Today, later morning or a day after, I want to begin shedding suffering, choosing long patience in between. You imprisoned my heart since the day we declared love, our love silenced jazzy heartbeats, we feel so green, the hundred memories we shared white as dove. I am to wait even if waiting sings along with torment for I believe the promise we said is pure of intent __________________________________________________ ==CONTEST NAME: WAITING== =Contest Sponsor: Craig Cornish= ~~2nd Place~~ 6:43 PM, September 10, 2015

I see this gem won in a contest and can easily see why! "Each night aroma of jonquils arrive to tickle me yet no console as I am a slave to your absence as bright full moon slowly slit the dormant sea in the field of black, hours, I crave for your essence." ^^ Pure gold. A7

Beautiful words gliding on the thermals of love little one. Soon distance shall be of metre's, inches or feet, for ideas, words we'll greet, onto the paper our quills shall meet. The more one reads this, the more one absorbs this gem~hugs~your Huge One//James tmf's xxxx

There is no mistaking that love is in the air, connecting two hearts across the miles. Waiting can be a torment, but the promise of declared love is worth the sacrifice:) Hugs // paul
