Patience for my Betrothed!!!
Days crept slowly like months
Moments seemed like eternity
The turtle perhaps ran faster than time
The snail crept without haste
Time seemed to be stuck in its tick
If only tomorrow could be drawn nigh
And today would sip into the 'morow
Then, I'll hasten to my betrothed
For my heart pounced in eagerness
Yet, I am a slave to time
Tales were told of her beauty
Songs were sung of her magnificence
Scripts could not match her excellence
Even gods I heard fought for her love
Yet, she is my betrothed
My eyes saw flashes of her radiance
My ears heard whispers of her love
My nose adorned her sweet fragrance
My tongue lusted deep for her lips
My skin twitched in the illusion of her warmth
I have anguished 'cause of deprived sleep
My heart raced from unseen chase
My longing betrayed my patience
My patience grew impatient
All I wanted was to embrace my betrothed
