Kiss Me Awake

A poem about loneliness while impatiently waiting for true love to come around.

Caught in the midst

Of others in bliss

Where happiness glows

From every corner

A sigh escapes

While I observe

What I have yet

To find

Denied the company

Of someone who

Could satisfy my craving

I close my eyes

And drift away

Where needs are met

Unrealistically 

There he finds me

There I'm held

There I can pretend

But here I'm lost

Worn from searching

Now I'm waiting 

Endlessly

"Come to me"

I want to plead

I want to scream

So that he hears

And yet hope lingers

Upon the silver chain

Where the clasp 

Has come around to the front

It brings a message

From my prince

"I'm thinking of you"

"I'm looking for you"

"One day I'll find you"

But how much longer

Will I wait

Until I can be safe

In your arms?

How much farther

Must I go

Until I can

See your face?

How many dreams

Will you appear in

Until you kiss me

Awake?

I want to know.

I want to see.

I want to hope.

I want to believe.
