Twelve steps to waiting

January 9, 2015

1.

Waiting

for handwritten notes

to be gently placed

into the palm

of my tiny hand.

2.

Waiting

for your poems

like a drug addict

in the depths

of the need.

3.

Waiting

for your inspiration

to take full control

of my thoughts

and leave behind

my car

in an abandoned parking lot

to find your crumbs.

4.

Waiting

for nothing to happen

but Silence

as my mind

reads yours

through distance and time

along

graveled 1920’s train tracks.

5.

Waiting

to be divided

by a doorway

stepped on clothes

as you fling

my body across

your shoulder

and spank my naked ass.

6.

Waiting

for the breakdown

to pass

but you must know

how I can breathe

freely

underwater

like a true mermaid.

7.

Waiting

to create

sensual art

with your fingers

as brushstrokes

and my body

your blank canvas.

8.

Waiting

to be undressed

slowly

and

thoughtfully

by your picture

smooth hands

clasping the wheel.

9.

Waiting

on years

and decades

for something

so romantic

candles and ghosts

will feel.

10.

Waiting

for old poetry lines

and lovers

to burn

as others can’t

compare

to the desire

in our lair.

11.

Waiting

for the cold snap

to pass

and the heat

from within

to bring you closer

to my wanting love.

12.

Waiting

is my secret

in peace

as a comfort

to my thousand year old soul

that knows yours so well.

    Watching
    bare trees
    expecting buds
    blossoms
    transforming hues
    falling rainbows
    in January
