An Agonizing Wait

Staring at the horizon, I see

The golden rays of the sun

Shimmer over the blue ocean

Like sparklers out for fun.

I wait for your shadow to emerge

From the emptiness of the shore,

As all this beauty means nothing

Without you by my side to share.

I wait and wait with anguish

As hues of gold turn into orange,

The sun sets, and the moon rises

But, you are yet not in range.

Now the night is tranquil,

And the moon is really bright,

I wait for you, my love,

To lift me up from my plight.

The heat of passion in my heart

Is burning like the desert sands

As I long for the glorious feel

Of your form within my hands.

Then I spy you from afar and my mind whirls in a daze,

You approach with feline grace to enhance the beauty of the place.

The twinkle of the stars, the shine of the moon

Add to the hope that you bring happiness very soon.
