Waiting

I impatiently wait
for a date to come
you are far away
and I am far away
we are both far apart
wishing to be together
and start a fire
a fire that has been burning
slowly burning,
like hot coals simmering
slowly burning but not afire
we want each other like
water on a desert and arid land
we desire each other's touch
but wait and wait
and how much longer
do we wait
eight more days
not long but too long
to see your face
to look into your eyes
to kiss you lips
to feel your body
to feel your hands
to have you
eight days is
an eternity
a never ending forever
of wanting, wishing
desiring
the simmering of ambers
slowly burning
I want you now
but I patiently wait
for this eternity to end
eight more days
not long but too long
to see your face
to look into your eyes
to kiss you lips
to feel your body
to feel your hands
to have you
I am impatiently waiting
