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
