Inwaiting. Poem by Bharati Nayak

Inwaiting.

Rating: 5.0


I waited and waited
You never came
Now I have stopped
waiting for you
And if you come, I will be surprised.

But I have received
Your bounty of gifts
Your well wishes
That come from far island
Those sweet melodies
That harp on my senses.

But promise me dear
To come at the sunset
When day's light gradually disappear
When sky is filled
with crimson red.

Promise me
To stand by my side
And hold my hands
Before I melt into the fading light
At the horizon's end.

Love has given much patience to wait. After a long day's waiting a temporary break is taken by stopping this but still there is hope that moment of arrival and meeting will come with lovable memories. Sweet melodies and wonderful gifts are received emotionally. Dear has given promise to meet before sunset and we hope he will come. He will promise to stand near love. His sudden coming will give surprise. An excellent poem is well penned on life and love...10

Waiting for a loved one though he did not come but love makes one still hopeful. A nice picture of human sentiments.
