Impatience

205 66 62
                                    

Three serpents on the wall,
Writhing inside a circle,
Inching to haunt my mind,
When I ache for a miracle.

One toll, two tolls, and then,
heartbeat fulfills the hours,
For the river flows within,
Waiting for a time of ours.

Solitary, I freeze in time,
The day snails do not end,
Patience melting like candles,
Burning for a soul to tend.

Hands chafing for a spark,
To warm the eager heart,
But the ticker on the wall,
Is what keeps us apart.
