When The Day

When The Day

When……..

A word so minuscule never meant something more monumental

When……..

When will you come

Will you come when doubts break shackles and escape you

When shells of protection form wings and take flight to depart your heart

When words of anticipation seep into your mind

Infecting your soul

Causing your eternity to yearn….

Maybe even desire

At the least want

Me…..

When…..

When will the space between us become the love that encompasses us

When will my dreams become your reality

Do you wait for God sent signs

Do you fear jumping out of your “what is” life boat to swim to my

“what should be” paradise

When can I hold your hand and lead you to us

I wait watching the hands of time wave precious goodbyes

Meanwhile I build

Demolish old prisons of self pity and heart break

Then I rebuild

Perfecting this love

Ensuring it is untainted and matchless

For you….

I’ve constructed castles of security

Full of rooms of adoration for you to live in

Fill my empty halls with your echoes

Made a bed of passion with pillows of fulfillment

For you to lay your pretty head on

Let me cover you with blankets of peace

Give me your warmth to thaw my frozen soul

And tuck you in every night with arms of devotion

Cover you with kisses of affection as you dream

Wanting to tell you these things but my words run away

Like a slave fleeing from bondage imposed by my tongue

Though my chains of circumstance have come undone

I remain

Waiting……

Waiting for the day

Clear as pure light and flawless diamonds

Serene as the breath of sleeping babies and angels lullabies

Passionate like the first and supreme like an aged love

Perfection I call the day

Look into your eyes and lose my sense of control

They are pools of infatuation

Untouched in abyss’s of reverence

It always starts with a flutter and then a bump

Beats like a war drum until it is ready to explode

My heart pounds into a frenzy

Anticipation wraps its powerful anxiety fingers around my being

And time stands still

As your voice commands the attention of my ears

Sweet was the sound that left an origin so succulent

Impregnated with reciprocation

Finally……

Your affirmation gives birth

To a life that my existence has been waiting lifetimes to live

Until then I patiently await

The day……

When……

When you confess to me

“I am yours”
