Breathless Anticipation


at the tail-end of a question,
     intense suspense
                   builds, and builds...

about to reach its climax
           and explode
                      like a tossed grenade.

a  s  p  h  y  x  i  a  t  i  n  g,
        fear of rejection;
                  that clings to him like a barnacle...

as he waits desperately
     for what feels like
                       an eternity...

to hear the answer
in which the foundation of dreams 
                    sits upon.

each second, a torture;
anxiously a  n  t  i  c  i  p  a  t  i  n  g
              one word....YES!
