10 Minutes
For ten minutes I
must stay
For ten times fold, my heart dismayed
I could not help but feel frightened
And I could not think for I'm blightened
By the fear of losing you
By the immense pain that would tear through
My blistered heart of agony
My deepest thoughts of vanity
For ten minutes I did cry
But seeming more...I will never let it die,
The passionate love I feel for you,
The silver string that makes us two
Two in one
My burning Sun
Forgive me
I am but a blinded fool
Blinded by the familiar fear
That's lessened me, and made it clear
That hope was gone
Ten minutes thinking of you...
Ten minutes tearing in two
For that moment, weakly, I stood
As any fearful Lover would
Just hoping for your return...
As inside, my eternal love for you still burned
You had done it before, you had made me wait,
As I waited profoundly, by Heaven's gate
Ten minutes, shivering inside
Ten minutes feeling, as if I had died
Those moments I laid, doubtedly at rest,
As the hopes I
had held on, ran closer to their deaths.
The showers returned, the darkness remained
In the valley of 10 minute waiting, restrained
But then,
You returned,
God heard my prayer
He sensed what I yearned
The need of Your Love, and sense of Your presence,
The burning desire, for the grace of Your essence
I've never felt so long, Eternal ten minutes,
And I've never sensed, such true Love as within us.
10 minutes I waited,
And 10 minutes I'll wait
Even for eternity,
Even though seeming great.
