Waiting For God

*

Waiting for God!!

With deep, rutted creases
Along with the passages of time
Those eyes must have seen impressive sights
& those hands must have touched her lover's visage
Her lips must have kissed with a hunger
from within;   The sighs...
& being kissed in return with love;
Having that human touch, touched her heart
And her hair once beautiful lustrous
Sweeping fingers through to touch
Now a mere negative reflection of long & white
Instead of a glorious black.
Sitting pensive wondering where the years have swept by
Left with memories of a time that's passed her by
She must have loved with abandon in the days of her life
From every orifice happiness pouring from
The love light in her eyes
Exuding from her the laughter scintillating from her eyes
Hysterically she must have laughed
Until it hurt, holding hilariously her sides
& she must have cried in sorrow some of the time
When life's disappointments crossed her path
& surely she must have wished to be happy
That happiness would last for a lifetime
When she cried through the darkness of her nights
When love passed her by;
In sadness tears falling from her eyes
But with memories intact, you can see in her eyes
Turning over her mind's mind...
When once upon a time, life was fun life was good
Now only memories exudes
Whilst sitting, in her own world
Waiting for God
In dignity still beautiful!!
