Is this Embrace a Waste?
My want so burdens me every minute for just a taste
Of your kiss melting into mine entwined as in a race
My heart beats so fast when I think beyond this trace
Of time gone by without your passionate embrace
Was this just a fantasy where time just lays in waste?
For you hold my heart now and I am on a climb
To find just the right words for you that will rhyme
But more to secure your interest beyond what's blind
What is not yet claimed for a prize is surely a crime
It's not that I am or will be impatient, take your time
But I escape this torture not being able to taste your lips
Every word you have spoken now, in my heart rips
Open in desires long pinned down my soul, it sips
The struggle I do hold back as a game that now pits
Me against you for loves quest so give me a few tips
For with a sweet thought I want you yet to taste
My lips now to feel your heart start to race
Like before where love will plant a real trace
Of evidence left beyond the loving embrace
I want to know so no time goes by now a waste
