Best Wait Poems


Premium Member The Wait
No end where love's found
no beginning, though there must've been
I can't recall, seems it was always there
going on and on..

No life better known, restless like the forest
hearts awaken at new sight and sound
teasing I see, so pleasing..
two corners lifting at your mouth.

You can go on...

A Love That Can Wait
Dreams of driving in the fast lane

hair in the wind, best girl at my side

a couple of kids rumbling in the back seat

to the promised land we happily ride.

Lately my praises of you don't seem to matter

 things once perfect now just don't seem right

all...

I have been counting all the days
Till your return, then we’ll embrace
Where flowers bloom beside the stream. 
With beating heart and eyes that gleam
I would inhale your fragrant scent
And taste your lips, with your consent.
All dressed in green, with flowing hair
A spell you wield my...

Premium Member I Shall But Wait
The murmur of winds urges me
to ride past new moon’s seasons …
it’s not joy I shall feed on;  no, perhaps
a more raw wildfire: a glaze bursting in the dark
or morn of life as is; this craving to sow my girlish
harvest with a nectar of...

Premium Member Lost Inside This Wait
I wait while wandering in empty dreams,
where everyone is lost and dying slow.
And in the distance are, unheard, the screams
of anguished souls I’ll never come to know.

The winds blow hot or cold here, rarely cool.
Leaves flutter out of sight, disintegrate.
Relief, if ever found, is minuscule.
I...

Premium Member I Wait and Hope
In the frame there is a photo
which I took of you that day
just a month before you left me
on my own and went away.

It reminds me with insistence 
of the things I can’t forget,
every moment I shared with you
since the day that we first met.

Your lover’s drawing straws without you, better bid farewell;
he’d never time for rhyme or reason, so it’s just as well.
Slip out the curtained window quick, the future winks and calls,
ignoring paths of pagan gods, where faulty footsteps fall.
Identify faint flashbacks, cloaked and clustered in a...

Dearest Sunlight, I Wait With Bated Breath

Dearest sunlight has thy glow ran away
Into a hideous canyon to hide
Please to dawn's glorious hour this I pray
Return, forgive me my arrogant pride
I watch night sky, its vast, glittering glows
Yet this lonely soul inward deeply cries
Beauty abounds as...

Premium Member I Will Wait For You
When you vowed your love, like a fairy, forever,
And fluttered about, like, possessed by new heaven,
I rolled my loneliness like a quilt in cover.
And got fermented by you like flour by leaven...

Your smile was as though the constellation twinkling,
For your love, I thought, I will...

Premium Member Worth the Wait
The clouds light up like lightbulbs, as the sun sets beyond the hill
Some are tinted gray, with bright shining edges of white
They are spread all over the place, above the pine trees so still
A moving transformation of the last beautiful moments of daylight

Animals speak as...

Premium Member I Wait
Shadows of yesterday eclipse reality,
but in hope lies my dreams;
mired in doubt and frustration, I'm left waiting.
Waiting for love's elusive touch, indulging in pleasures
that are never enough; always wanting more,
and as fledgling feelings flex
impatient wings; I wait.

When desire suddenly morphs into lust,
and love is consigned...

I composed a song version of this poem with different lyrics but the same "beat".
When you see three "dots" ...  pause for a second.


All it took...
Was your hand caress my neck...
As you passed.

Or a word...
Of affection, not some play...
You were cast.

No gifts... to please,
No...
