In tormented anguish
I told toil back and forth in labor
Anticipating the moment
That you are birthed into existence
Pushed forth from the womb
Released from the recesses of my very being
Emancipated from the core of my essence
Discharged from the profoundness of my inspiration Where there was once desolation
Life now lives
Patiently I wait...
Falling more and more in love
As you evolve inside me
I'm falling...
In love.
With each line that develops
I desire to touch you
With every soliloquy that is formed
I long to hear you
With each simile that is constructed
I fall deeper in love...
As each metaphor is fashioned
I can feel you moving through me
Wanting just as much to be heard
Longing to be discerned and accepted
Anxious to be understood
Yearning to be contemplated
So in laborious affliction
I tarry enduringly
Yes, I wait...
I wait until the bearing down is uncontrollable
Until your determination is unshakable
Until your perseverance is insuppressible
Until the dam breaks
And the water is rushing
The canal has commenced
And the passageway has opened
For the world to behold you...
And I whisper to you
"POETRY, come forth"
