WAITING

With you came the spring

To my deserted garden

Flowers bloomed thousands to see you

And came butterflies numerous

Not for honey from blossoms

But to mill about you

And birds in chattering

To hear your music

Like a full bloomed sunflower

You persisted in my garden

The perfume spread around

Made envious all

They all watched your shining face

Our dreams and hopes and lust

Made it the seventh heaven

The bright sun above felt envious

Seeing your flaming beauty

The stars grew jealous

But not known if

Seeing the flowers or your splendor

The moonlight lingered here

To snog your stature

The breeze mill around here for ages

To embrace you always

But oh! Suddenly the day came

The day you got vaporized

Like a drab flower you faded away

But still the garden bears

Buds in thousands; waiting to bloom!

And the spring hangs around

Unwilling to go

And my psyche keeps it alive

Only for your return!
