A poem: Yearning Love, Hope, Faith, & Sacrifice
“It’s scary being loved. Because life is complicated and all too often it throws you off balance by sending you the right person at the wrong time.”
― Guillaume Musso
Delayed Gratification
Awakening my love with no place to land
Left me feeling exposed with my heart in my hand
The clock cruel and unforgiving
Why must timing keep me reliving
For years I waited to feel like this
Now I can see
My heart conditioned to expect the worst
Delayed gratification a stifled flow
Ready to burst
My nights filled with aching
My dreams confirm the diagnosis
Forbidden love perhaps
Maybe another lifetime
Just romantic psychosis
These images wont leave my mind
We lay in a bed of passionate desire
But you’re not mine
I grazed your arm but quickly pulled away
You beckoned me to stay
Two entities stand in our way
You rush to push her away
Some other love stealing our moment
My joy when I saw that you protected our flame
Yet we know purity and nobility must remain
Dare we fall into temptation and loose trust
True love cannot stand on passionate lust
There amongst our longing we took our pleas to the throne
Oh Lord please let this be?
Us together? Holy Matrimony?
Our hearts afraid of the answer
Our God whom we love must approve
Or we nail this to the cross
In true soldier fashion
Die to ourselves daily
But should he approve my cross I proclaim
To love you forever
While I bear his name
