Life is a waiting game

Life is a waiting game

Life is a waiting game

One keeps waiting

To accomplish

Ambitions aspirations

Desires and goals

Waits to fulfill

Contentment

Peace and solace

How much one may try?

One after the other

Some obstacle intervenes

Leaving the mind puzzled

 The heart unfulfilled

Death is the only thing

Of which one is sure

Sooner or later it comes

Life,wait

I am so shy

When ever

You meet me

You smile

Your eyes brighten

Your face turns red

In your heart

You seem to be

Praying

In your mind

Busy dreaming

You forget

To tell me 

What’s n your mind

Keep me guessing

Till the next meeting

I am so shy

Just keep waiting

To hear from you

I love you

Love,wait,shy,dreaming

I wait for the night

I wait for the night
To see the dark sky

Embedded

With twinkling stars

The cool moon

Showering soothing light

I wait for the night
To cuddle in the bed

Under a soft blanket
Close my eyes
Forget the tiredness
Restore my energy 
I wait for the night
To have a sound sleep
See sweet dreams
Spent the night
In the land of fairies
I wait for the night
To ask myself
What wrong

I did in the day
To promise myself
Not to repeat it

The next day

Hope did not die

It was a sad day

Lights dim 

Moon without shine

Face dull

In deep gloom

As if dying

Darkness all around

Sorrow

In the turbulent mind

Thoughts

Came like waves

Why she has not come

Is everything fine?

When she will come

Was the question in mind?

But she did not come

The agony did not end

Life became worthless

But in some corner

Of the heart and mind

Hope did not die

Pure Love

It was raining

She was standing

Under the tree

Her beauty

Visible clearly

From under Her

Drenched clothes

Inviting

Passersby to look at her

Unconcerned about

What they were thinking?

Her eyes were glued

On the road

Anxiously waiting

For her beloved

To arrive

Take her in his arms

Provide warmth

To her cold body

And

Drench her

With pure love

Wait never ends

I wait

Eagerly

Desperately,

Longingly,

Helplessly,

I wait

Patiently,

Quietly,

Lovingly,

Hopingly

Ultimately

Praying to God

Wait?

Replies the god

I keep on

Waiting

And

Waiting

For the wait

To end

But the wait

Never ends

I do not wait for anybody except you

Her face

Was embossed

In my heart and mind

Never let me cry

Her memories never

Faded

Hope of her coming

Back

Never died

Loneliness

Never perturbed me

She was always near me

Till I saw you

Your face

Is a replica of her’s

You have

Mesmerized me

Captured

My heart and soul

Memories have faded

Love in life revived

Now

I do not miss

I do not wait

For anybody

Except you

I know you wait for me

I know

You wait for me

Always ready

To hear from me

Even

When you are busy

I keep

Knocking the door

Of your

Mind and heart daily

Though

I have not met you

You have not met me

An unseen bond exists

Between the two

As time passes

The desire to meet

Keeps increasing

The urge to share more

Doesn’t let you

Reduce your anxiety

Waiting for him

With a look of hope

On the face
Eyes gleaming
Longing to see her desire

Fulfilled
She sat in the window
Looking at the street
Waiting for him to arrive
Arms of the clock

Kept moving
Her desire

Remained starving
Color of the face

Kept changing
Pink became yellow

In no time

Eyes moved

From street to the clock

Now and then
Afternoon went

And evening arrived
No sign of

Her love to be seen
Eyes became wet
Tears started flowing
One more day

Had left her crying
Waiting for him
Had become

Her only pastime

She kept waiting

She kept waiting 
To hear for him

There was no message

No call from him

She kept checking

The mailbox 
From time to time

Falsely smiling

On seeing some body

Ate food without enjoying

Looked at the door 
And the phone

Thousand times

Tried to sleep, but couldn’t

Stopped leaving the house

Thinking

She might miss the call

Waiting for him

Became a nightmare

Tears flowed now and then

Thoughts keep coming

She said to herself

He never keeps his promises

She will never allow him

To leave her alone

He said, he will be travelling

In the countryside

Communicating will be difficult

So be patient

Simple for him, to say this

Never realized the agony

she was in

It is better to die

Than to wait for him

Ready to fly in the open skies

Time for the hot sun

To hide

Cool shining moon to rise

Dusk on the anvil

In the shade of a tree

She was standing

With an untold anxiety

Clearly visible

From the waiting eyes  

Playing with her curly hair

Looking left and right

Waiting for the beloved

To come and take her in his arms

Plant a sweet kiss on her lips

She didn’t knew

I was watching her beauty

With an uncanny desire

She looked

Like a desperate bird

Ready to fly

In the open skies
