Wishing, hoping, dreaming...

By Bellezza

fallen in love for the last time
seething with hope to never know
if any feeling can eclipse this

praying for more than i have
scared to have more than i do
enjoying the breathless torture


deep breath
.
.
.
exhale…


clenched fists hide quaking palms
euphemisms spell out to you
just how scared
and happy i've become

my thoughts ever are of you
wishing
hoping
dreaming


forsaking…

wishing for that one kiss to find me
only to prick apart my weary soul

but true love lies within that one kiss

(just one…)

hoping that all my broken sorrows were not in vain
and that i might have to chance to prove
that my lips would die for just one taste

dreaming that my hands might need that solace
to slide themselves against your body
smooth and warm to the gentle touch

King Midas might have turned the world to gold with his touch
but you spark everything to become angelic


and i could lay at rest with just a single glance




-------------------------------------------------------------------

I noticed that others tend to use this technique a lot around here
so I thought I would try it out myself. It isn't my typical style
but I thought, what the hey! =D
