Life's 'is' and 'isn't'
the latter I choose:
the former has happened
and no longer offers any excitement-

on a journey
the best part
is not arrival
but the in-between expectation-

the rose is in budding
we wait for its blossoming-

the moon is not yet
we watch for its shining-

my lover's letter I'm anticipating
how my longing heart is beating!

Her lips to kiss I'm dreaming
it'll be bliss at our lips' blending!
