The Waiting

I waited patiently with bated breath
Beneath the banyan tree
On a cloudless starry night
Far away from the city light
Waiting for the sound of my beloved beau
Wide eyes darting to and fro
In a distance I see a horse trot by
Off jumped the horseman and ran to my side
“I am sorry Miss there has been a twist
My Master has been called to enlist
He has sent you these flowers and a little ring
And has asked you to wait until spring”
Off went the horseman on his horse so swift
I stare into my hands at the little gifts
Tears spilling down in tiny rivulets
