A Waiting Game
Life between the highs and lows Is stable, or one would suppose, Yet that might not be true at all – When high, you’re waiting for the fall. And naturally, when you are low, There is no way for you to know How long until your saddened state Will vanish, so again you wait. So life becomes a waiting game. If being stable is...

Conspire with the void Blow vast space a kiss Wink at time as it mocks Celebrate immersion in life Then wait For as long as it takes Neither seeking nor anticipating Simply remaining attentive And mindful Good things await Have faith...

He breaks your heart Tears you down and apart Lip buttoned, your kid shuts you out Where to turn, How to start... Extra patience is called for It's a waiting game Confrontation only gets you More of the same...

The Waiting Game
It feels like I’m somewhere Stuck in a foreign place And I cling to a million days Crammed in an invisible jar Of my faithful wishes anchored To one Star I guess I am bound to stay Even if the footsteps are unheard Light years away Because the jury of Divine will Has done my heart a sealed deal And I must agree to conform As everything...

The Waiting Game
THE ANGLER and THE WAITING GAME Along the shallow sloping winter bourne The water trickles to the stream to drain The rain-wet fields on bone cold winter morn It’s life held brief by seasonal refrain All summer long it played the waiting game In breath-held stillness trees unmoving stand Except where twig is touched by drip of rain With oaks and...

His heart is golden full of passion for someone like himself He waits patiently year after year dating here and there with no luck Thinking all this time that he'll never find his love Living one day at a time Still waiting patiently...

The Waiting Game
The clock never stops, time never stands still; A girl in a train station shudders with a chill, Waiting on delusions, waiting on a train, Waiting for old aches to reemerge again. She’s holding her breath and counting heartbeats, She’s thinking of long gone sun-kissed streets, Waiting on a thunder, waiting for the rain, Waiting for a whisper and words that never...

The Waiting Game
THE WAITING GAME I'm playing the waiting game, not futilely nor waiting in vain. My delivery, my parcel my expectation; forces me to ambulation. I want it now, my elixir my kisser; sit and lull for the lister; who swore to me a delivery vow. For what do I wait, as the hours grow late? And why won't it come now! Anticipation sloths, it...

A Waiting Game of Song
A Waiting Game of Song In life's journey, many a woman gets lost along the way Of this, I know for sure most definitely I do have to say Some people say if you have a softness and lightness Of how certain types of poets, writers, authors can convey An all ulterior false of humanistic proximity in realities I say. Can...

A Waiting Game
"I'm not who You've waited for, After all these years. I know that you hoped for more, But I'm facing fears. You're a perfect kind of guy, You deserve the world, Not the drama of the life That comes with this girl. You deserve someone special, That can treat you right. Not waiting for me until, You use up your light". She'll never understand, the...

Waiting Game
You gave me hope. I waited and waited. It wasn't ment to be. You didn't come. You set me free, so I can see the better option.... The sun, the moon ,the sea.... I walked my shadow home. The rest is history my dear... You ever gave me hope....

From a derelict house, near the interstate pass, with her cuff of chenille, she rubs a small circle to clear away grime from the cold window glass Better to see now, beyond wooden rails, that have worn disrepair for thirty odd years and have fenced in, long hours of loneliness There's an old pepper tree, that tosses it's head in...

The Waiting Game
Waiting for the rain to go or the sun to come, or the clouds to go or the car to come, or the fear to go or the phone to ring, or the heart to know or waiting around for your love to grow or waiting for his fear to go. Everyone is just waiting. Waiting for the endless night or waiting for...
