Wait Poems

Senryu

Right on time is hard.
If I am early I wait.
That's wasting my time. 

In Wait

She still smiled,
even when she knew,
life looped over her, 
like a hangman’s noose.
Imagined it was a melody she heard,
in the rising cadence of a dirge.

But…in her laughter was the echo,
of smothered sighs, shot involuntary,
from the corked up bottle of her heart.
In a hilarious company, she languished
like a cockle in the shell.

Seemed so calm
when a sizzling

Dear Angel

Ah dear angel, there’s no time without flesh
But only space where we are lost and formless
It would be nice of you to press refresh
Back into picture we’ll return from nothingness 
You smile at me like you’ve no words to say
My shopping list completed, so I’ll go
While I’m alive I have to use at max each

I Wait TSF

Your steps
Rhythmic
Create
Yearning
Lyrics,
You turn
A song.

Tune makes
Lilt stream 
Of love,
Flowing
From you,
Takes me
Along

I float
Like a
Flower
Abloom,
Resigned
To its
Sole fate.

I drift
With dreams,
Some day
Sink in
Your sea
Belonged,
I wait.

How Long Will I Wait Before I Come Back To the Light

How long can I wait in the blaze of the sun,
Before shadows drag me down from the height?
The stars are a choir, but they do not speak,
And the sea keeps knocking with a blind white fist.

I am held by the flame, yet I ache for the dark,
Where my bones know the cool and the silence

The Wait

The Future is a timid Guest —
It knocks — but will not stay —
Its Face half veiled in Morning mist —
Its Words — a shadow’s play —

The Clock declines to answer —
The Sun averts her Eye —
Yet in the Breath of Clover —
A Whisper will reply —

The Choice is not for Mortal Hands —
Nor any

Can't Wait

Can't wait
for the rapture.
When the evil people
go up to heaven, and we can
progress.

We Can't Wait

visit from
five sweet kids
our great-grands

coming soon-
three are girls
two are boys

four months old
to age six
we can't wait

Father I can't wait to go to heaven

God I can't wait to go to
Heaven
Any day you call me to go to
Heaven
I Will be ready to go heaven
I know that you will send
Your Angel down from heaven
To get me
And he will carry me
In his wing
Also when we will reach heaven
The Angel will knock on heaven's
Door
And God will open the door
For us to get

When Virtues Wait

The life you walk now sighs beneath your feet—
a path once clear now tastes bittersweet.
Even as you carry grace like gold,
judgment greets you, distant and cold.

Kindness speaks, but you hush her voice,
as if warmth is now the weaker choice.
Respect once danced at your command,
but now she trembles, bare and banned.

You wear pride like a tailored

For You, My Son, I'll Wait

A crown of thorns it had to be
He cried out in anguish from that tree
No one would listen, no one cared
Then John said brother please be still
Your Father in heaven for you awaits
You mean the world and more to Him
God said for You, My Son, I'll wait

How long must he wait?

How perversely exciting it used to be, in
the months after you made your decision
to abandon this hopeless situation
meaning [rueful laughter] the UK, not so much
the shattered bones of you and me

I was still hanging on, a faithful puppy
getting up early and heading out to Heathrow
to provide the welcome committee
and then I went straight to work?

Wait, my love, but do you truly believe what you see now

Wait, my love, but do you truly believe what you see now?
Are you carried along my river, and am I the one you seek?
Sit beneath the sun that burns like a living flame, submerged deep in the pond of my dreams,
Swaying in the air like leaves carried by the wind, truth or dare, on the

In the midst of my loneliness

In the midst of my loneliness 
I find myself plagued by my fears 
Altered to seek for love 
In places where my soul be dead

In the midst of my loneliness 
I am a slave to my thoughts 
In a dream I am dragged 
by a rope to drink from dirty water 

In the midst of

Wait, What Happened?

Wait, What Happened?

This Happens With Every Molecule
Instantly, All The Time
A Decision Is Made
Usually A Common Decision
With A Dash Of Maybe
Let's Try This!
Unprepared.
Now.

Molecule? I Don't Mean Cells...
That's Too Far To Stretch Anyway
So What's The Point?

 Queen Quanta Moves A Serpentine Head. 

Look out.

No. MOLECULE... then down to 
Elements, then subparticle to
Subparticle That...
It's ALL Alive, I Mean...
