Love Doesn’t Wait for the Morning
What? Trying it on for size?
Trying to act surprised
that touching someone unlike you
feels so nice.
You’re guessing again
and it’s so simple my friend.
When loves comes,
it never knocks twice –
It just comes in.
Afraid? What will people say?
Running to far hide-a-way places
to bask in the joy of each other’s faces
In the dark? Subtle traces
of what is surely to be uncovered in the day
Ahhhhhhhhh!
You are placing wonder in a box
as if you are a child at play.
Ashamed?
But love is not a childish game.
Is being with the one you want,
rejected by the world, a strain?
You would rather please
the maddening crowd,
than experience the pain
of standing for your soul
mate and to the world
Shout it out loud!
Love doesn’t wait for the morning,
Neither does it hide at night!
Love is perfect and entire
and casts out fear
whether timing is bad
or just right.
Take hold to love – own it
before love is your
“Once upon a time!’
Refrain:
When your eyes meet
Know that it is love.
When your minds speak – Listen
No other power can defeat
The power of love.
Such a well crafted poem about reluctant commitment…. I felt the struggle and the passion of the one party who understood what love is while the other wanted to rein it in because it might not be acceptable in some eyes. Your title is perfect and so many of the lines deliver powerful messages like this one.
Is being with the one you want,
rejected by the world, a strain?
You would rather please
the maddening crowd,
than experience the pain
of standing for your soul
mate and to the world
Shout it out loud!
