WAITING
home
Balanced on the edge of sleep
His voice wraps itself around her
Smiling, she drifts into the dream
                                        
                                     SLD
Slumber slowly in retreat
Eyes the morn's awakening fight
Mind still caught in sweet seduction
Of sensual dreams alive in the night

Body warm with invitation
Heart smiling, limbs shift
Brief moment of anticipation
Reluctant lids begin to lift

With sighing heart and protesting body
Her minds chants mantras the world can't hear
Someday, someday, over and over
Punctuated with a glistening tear

                                       SLD
My spirit groans
My throat is choked with unspoken sobs
A tear silently traces a path down my cheek
The day has just begun ----my soul is filled with sorrow
I am grieving life
Hope is dying and only Yahweh can heal
Help my Yahweh please
The world will not see the yawning emptiness of my eyes
Only the smile pasted to my lips
But you O Lord know the falsity of the presentation
The quiet desperation that lies within
Only You my God can fill the gaping hole
Once a field of delight in my Saviour
Love has not ceased between us
But somehow it has been tarnished
By the rigours of everyday life
Where is my joy -- the joy of my Lord
My Lord is within and without
There I must seek my joy
How do I begin?
I am on my knees before Yahweh
                                                       SLD
ears ache for the sound of him
eyes strain for a glimpse of him
nostrils seek the scent of him
tongue yearns for the taste of him
lips part anticipating
hands reach eager to touch
arms stretch needing to hold
legs tangle, hips thrust

pleasure in the dream
pain for a fantasy
pleasure...love so near
pain...love so far

a meeting of minds
a joining of hearts
a melding of bodies
love...
awe-inspiring, risk-taking
hot, moist, urgent
warm, soft, patient

pleasure
pain
love
                                   SLD
