Under The Love Tree

I wait excitedly

Under solitary love tree

The tree witness to our endless meetings

Hark!

I hear familiar footsteps

Isn't it you

Emerging from shadows?

The evening is fading into twilight

The golden glow begins to retire

I stand waiting

Staring into vast vistas

Holding my patience

Now the darkness grows thicker

Like the darkness enveloping my heart

I peer hard

Still no sign of your arrival

The moon begins to show up

Bathing vast expanse

With its shimmer and shine

As if to welcome bride-to-be

Raising hopes we will unite

You and Me

Now my patience begins to wear thin

Arrows of sadness pierce

My love-struck heart

Pangs of doubt stir

Hope begins to wane

Wait seems futile

Reality begins to sink in

You will never be mine

I begin to retreat

With a promise to love tree

I will return

I will wait till eternity

Despite bitter reality
