Anticipation Poems - Poems about Anticipation

Sit with me If you dare to partake Delicacies suited for a king Uncomposed melodies that compel the heart to sing Rays of the sun wrestled from the sky Secrets of wise men upon whom I dared to spy The moist anticipation purchased from dreamers with bated breath Renewed energy reclaimed after a moment of rest The sweetness of honey gifted by the bees The gentle power of the forest as trees...

I hear them whisper your name, those mighty winds that blow. I know that you are close at hand, the winds just told me so. The direction from whence they blew, I am not sure I know.
