Best Anticipation Poems

Fireflies danced amongst the shrubs,
Nocturnal fragrance filled the garden,
Sweet melodies of violin
Wafted into the serenity 
Of our quiet neighbourhood.
How could I not dream of my love?

On the hammock beneath an old oak
I lay swinging gently to the tune,
A rhapsody weaving a magical spell. 
Thoughts drifting...

Peering around the edges of the yellow-orange sky 

dancing under cover of the morning mist 

gently you tickle my cheek 

whisper good morning my love 

onto my once shut slumbered eyes 

greet me with your perfect smile 

leave me breathless in wake of your beauty...

Old year faints away

                       New, dawns on the horizon,

Temptations teasing in the night
as embers glow within the pit
just you and I in pale moon light
that begs our passions to submit

I see the look within your eyes
and tender smile that beckons me
a promise of love’s sweet surprise
I know this night was meant to be

and...

In anticipation, I'm waiting for your touch
to feel your hand stroke gentlly
my cheek, I want so much
In anticipation, I'm waiting for your arms
to hold me tight, to lay close 
together into the deep of the night
In anticipation, I'm waiting for that kiss
your lips softly on...

Lamps lit in the darkness
like a jeweled evening gown
my soul sings of an emptiness
not having you around...but,
heartsong's are sung to the brightest star
hoping they find you wherever you are...

Can you hear me,while I wait to hear you?...

Hope the days pass quickly, and uneventfully.
Until inner rhythms in harmony, 
create unique peace, satisfaction,
and a sense of belonging.
A mystery,
whose location and origin is felt,
but not understood.
When kindred spirits become close, 
and play once again....

The Anticipation of Snow
David J Walker

No matter how old I grow 
The anticipation of snow
Beckons the memories of my feet
Deep in rubber boots 
We called galoshes 
Stepping into a virgin white
World of crisp cold 
The crunching sound of 
Crushing snow to the ground 
Below leaving...

Hope springs eternal, they say
   Robin red-breast seen with the blue jay
Flowers poke their way up through hard ground
   Buds on tree open, prisoners unbound

The sky is a pale azure-blue
   Her breezes so warm and inviting
Spring's yearly hope's again...

Tonight
She wanes
Each
Perpetual
Moment
By her silent phone
Awaiting
Breathlessly
The call of a
Secret
Sweetheart
Grasping to
The thread 
Of hope
As little by little
The flame
In her heart
Fades
In the
Deathening
Stillness
Of the night

Our  house is abuzz
With Me, Bella and Jess 
And Mummy is all delight
“Dad’s coming home tonight! “

The Cake has been made
The table has been laid 
Candles are alight
Dad will be home tonight!

Mum’s wearing polka dots
Dress, Dad had bought
She looks pretty, so bright!
Dad will be...

What, if any, shall my love be; if tho is not there in the meadow of our season? Will our love wilt as flowers do in the burning sun without thy water to sip into its roots? Shall we not meet by the tree in...

in my dream of dreams
i wake so gently
nudge you as you sleep

the caress to tantalize you
aroma seductive in the air
café au lait brought to your lips

secretly how I long to be
the sprinkle of sugar in your cup
the jam on your croissant
your morning ray of sunshine

o...

there is a craving
in my heart
an anticipation
that keeps me going
propulses me
to greet each morning
with the same excitement
and childlike hope
as when I'd open
that new box of
Cracker Jacks
