The Wait Poem by Bandana Basu

You came with all your glamour, you charmed me with your flash,
And when I was sufficiently wooed, you filled me with all your love.
The abundance of your love, filled my soul to the brim,
I rejoiced and grew in love for life, in all its forms and beings.

Then just as quietly you left, leaving me yearning for more,
I remained true to your love, and stayed in an eternal pause.
Your love made me give, from, and all of me,
I knew not how to stop and gave until I dried up.

My eyes that seeked you since, dried up in your waiting,
My soul that longed your moist touch, parched in your memory.
And just as I was to cease, you came, you came to fill me up,
And again just as every time, I rejoiced, I danced, I sparkled.

Once again I was enchanted and remained true to your love,
Knowing your love was fleeting, but mine was ever renewed.
