#wait poems on Hello Poetry

Aaron Barden Nov 2019

At first just a crack;
A glimpse inside, I’ve lowered them;
Just for your viewing;
What will you do once included?
Will you play the same?
The women before you the game?
Where you tear at my soul;
Where you taste another?
Will you leave me broken and foul?
I hope not, I wish not, I want so bad;
For you to be the one;
The one I’ve waited for; the one to heal
And so with loose hands I hold you;
I wait, I choke, and I hope.
Please be the one; Please be for me;
I won’t so bad to watch them crumble

Just Wait

Drowning
Even before the floodgates
Break
Pulled to the bottom
By an infinite weight
I'll never be able to lift it
All I can do
All any of us can do
Is wait

Because someday
These clouds will fade
The sky will clear
I'll feel the sun on my face
And it will be more
Than worth the wait

I'll hold my breath
Until the end of time
If it means that I
Will witness the stars
I'll fall apart
A thousands times
Just so I
Can someday be whole
And I will be
We will be
Just wait

Because someday
When the sun comes through
And the light breaks our bodies
We will rise
We will soar
Higher than birds
Seeing it all
For the first time
We'll finally fly

All it takes
Is the will to survive
And we will
Just wait

Yeah, this *****. God, it *****. It hurts so much and all we can do is wait and wait and wait. But we'll do it. We are going to survive and thrive and get out of this town and learn what it means to truly live life.

Fated to wait...

Have you ever been amazed,
when a gentle wave
from the sea
softly kisses your feet
and breaks
an unfinished day-dream?

By the time
you look down,
it has already receded
back to its ocean;
taking back
the healing tranquility
it had brought
with it.

You can neither
hold it back,
nor can you become
a part of the ocean;
if you wish to be
and to dream
anymore.

All you can do
is to wait
for another wave
to splash you
with the taste
of the sea.

Retrowave

The world on call-wait,
Taps its toes and sings along,
‘How deep is your love?’

‘Not every musician should be obligated to reassure us that we are not zombies.’
- Joseph Lanza, Elevator Music: A Surreal History of Muzak, Easy-Listening, and Other Moodsong; Revised and Expanded Edition

The Wait

No matter how much I change
Remain the same
See myself or lose sight
Try and fail
Fly by the seat of my words
Or not cry

No matter where I am
Or how much time I spend
In the vastness of mind
Or quietness of sleep

No noise contends
New sound remains
Or feeling fails to fall from the night sky

No matter who, or alone, or with, or why
Regardless of meaning or resolving on time

No indescribable thing reveals itself
When I'm ready, when I'm waiting, when I'm wanting to find

The wait

Wait (for it, maybe?)

My Theodosia,

Love                                                                                       Life

    doesn't
         discriminate

Between the
Sinners~
and the
~Saints

It

                        takes

and it

                       takes

and it

                          takes

And we keep

loving                                                                       living

a n y w a y s

we

Laugh and we cry                                                           Rise and we fall

And
we
break

And we make our mistakes.

And If there's a reason I'm still alive, when everyone who loves me has died, then I'm willing to wait for it.

wait for it

wait for it

                                                                                wait for it

Mom,
Dad,
Grandpa.

When they died, they left no instructions,
just a
legacy
to protect.

(What is a legacy?)

Hamilton's pace is relentless,
But some day he'll be tired.
And the only thing the world will hear,
Is a gunshot being fired.

...

wait..!

...

If I waited just a bit longer, I'd seen the world was wide enough, for both Hamilton and me.

Wait...

I can't wait for you
Where are you
The light will change soon
