Anticipation

 

 


 

With my breath locked somewhere

Refusing to escape, as the hands

Of the clock slowly inch forward

Heralding that moment, frozen

In time, which I have long seen

In my mind, since that hazy night

When I first glimpsed the mesmerizing

Colours of a crimson sky at dusk

 

Fingers on my throat, I try quell those

Emotions, which flutter somewhere

Deep within the recesses of my

Heart, but echo boldly in my stomach

While with a calm face I go around

Doing my work, trying to keep

My eyes from mirroring my soul

And my pure bliss from spilling away

 

What my eyes have witnessed for you

These past so many months, all around,

The small details that I observed and

Penned away into the diary of my mind

Will all surface and bloom of their own

And will feel the touch of your presence

As you will finally discover not only

My world, but yours too in another birth
