Waiting

my sweetest one
soon, you'll be gone


abducted for long by matrimonial vows
walk into a covenant; dressed like the clouds


a new attachment, a new name
my pen's eye can see the guests, all the fame


I know someday you'll bear him children
to remember your father, you'll name one "Alfred"


he'll care for you, he should
but I doubt he'll love you more than I would


I don't know why I wrote this
I'm guessing, us together, I do miss


imagine, this poem, a wedding gift
yeah, I know, how unfit


well, I just want you to know....
you know me, impossible to not let my feelings show


I know, my creativity is kinda like my curse
poet, hmph, what could be worse


I just wanted to tell you that you're my only shot at love
my first and final manna from above


I'm truly hopeless without your affection
yeah, I might still have the magic, but, I'm using a slower connection


so... this is very stupid and crazy
but, you, for eternities, I'm ready to be waiting


it might be long... but, hey, death could do me a favour
lol, just kidding(don't wanna spoil your 'emotional labour')


don't mind my sarcasm, though, there's little truth there
hehe... I'm kidding, don't start courting fear


so then, I guess... this is it, Florence
mission 'waiting for you' has commenced





yours lovely,
a.k.a your only poetic lover
genius of the pen like no other
