Awaiting Love. Poem by Fay Slimm
Awaiting Love.
Darkly wrapping ourselves in lonliness,
Withdrawing inside a wearisome heart
In no way prepares our life in readiness
To encounter the time when true love can start.
Awaiting the flowering of breathtaking
Emotion like love needs a heart gently warmed
With expectancy, softened by making
A habit of kindness, thus will be formed
No unrealistic, self-serving dreams,
But gentle sufficiency, growing until
Another, one day, awakens the gleams
Of a future awaiting, which will fulfil
Undreamed-of pleasures, real treasure of love
That after preparing, our hearts would approve.
Some times we need to reach out for that understanding hand.. Andrew 10

You most certainly portrayed the feelings of love very well. This poem has a flowy sense to it, I like it.
Excellent Fay- this delivers on all levels. The flow is great, the message of opening up and embracing love, the style...you are a truly great writer 10/10
love is a ffeling beyond words but u proved that words are stronger enough to bring out the essense of love 10
Marvellous writing Fay.The worst thing about love is when having captured it, in all its forms, then dispensed with it knowingly is a numbing of the soul.Waiting to re-capture its essence is a painful process and seems impossible when you have been deeply wounded in love. Sid xx.
Gentle, introspective, filled with kindness and warmth. True poetry is ageless. Write on by all means. As always, Sandra
