The Awaited Reality Poem by Mohammad Younus

I wait for you with patience
The years in silence pass
But, like the mirage in the desert
You are distancing from me
As I walk closer to you
You draw yourself away
Yet, I wait for you again
With the hope that one day
You will come to greet me
With your love to please me
My heart is in flames -
And as fragile as glass,
Sure to break into pieces
Take pity upon my heart
Yet, silently, I wait for you _
With sadness, pain, and hope
I am hearing the distant drums
You are walking towards me
Perhaps the distance is in flames
But I'm afraid that at last
You might change your mind
And initiate the challenging task
By asking me to wait and suffer
But, how can I wait and suffer more -
Having struggled and suffered for long
Unable to overcome my dreams,
I shall continue my fight and
journeying
My chances are such bright!
My resilience is so fine!
That, at last, the distance will vanish
Between me and my beloved _
But I'm afraid that the awaited reality
Might come at a painful cost
