Waiting - In Silence

 waiting in silence for you to appear
in darkness you illuminate my night
time surrounds us in an infinite sphere
waiting in silence for you to appear
without you, mystical dreams disappear
penning poems of sorrow and delight
waiting in silence for you to appear
in darkness you illuminate my night

  3. I love the repetition here - it's like the recurrent thoughts you get when you're waiting for something. This feels like a positive anticipation though. I hope they turn up soon.

    Beautiful rhyming take, True! Waiting for a loved one will always be rewarded with a smile rather than a frown. A classic image you've chosen!

  10. There is a sense of calm in the waiting that makes waiting ok here.

  11. This is lovely and sad -- waiting for the moon and sleep and the muse of dreaming to come and make a darkness bright. But sometimes it doesn't come ... that is the waiting of insomnia ...

    1. Sometimes it doesn't come and you wait. The ceiling fan spins around as, you count the tiles on the ceilings. Wondering if the night will ever end.
