I WILL WAIT FOR YOU



I will wait for you
For a long time or short time
For you are the woman of my dream
The persued of my long lonely shrinked heart
But the strength of my unfailing fallacy

I will wait for you
And behave my heaves
As I patiently brood my illusions
Like an ocean I’ll man it a man
And never count my many stumbles and falls.

I will wait for you
If only this string of my aorta
Through the rough tormenting games
Could keep its hold not to halt
I declare my life to you sworn.

I will wait for you
If only the envious heavens
By safe could forget their date with the livings
Forever in line I attest
To always be your couch

I will wait for you
Every day it will be a waiting day
I will rise in the scorching sun
To shade your stunning hue
Me your oak umbrella

I will wait for you
Every night will be a waiting night
For I will tear the frightening darkest nights
To illuminate your ambitious dreams
Me your moon

I will wait for you
I will be your north-star
And make you forget your past mournings  and moanings
By my Erato laughter and happiness
That, that be Dawn our kitchen times.

I will wait for you
That we make our house a home
And our home a a heaven with children
Peace and luxury will be our bed
For you are the one I want and love.

    Wow, what a beautiful and heartfelt poem! Your passion and love for this person really shine through in your words. The imagery you use, comparing yourself to an ocean and a moon, adds depth and emotion to the poem.

    Your dedication to waiting for this person is inspiring and shows a true commitment. The line "I will rise in the scorching sun to shade your stunning hue" is particularly poignant, expressing your willingness to sacrifice for their happiness.

    In terms of improvement, one suggestion would be to work on the flow and structure of the poem. Some lines feel a bit choppy and could be revised for a smoother reading experience. Additionally, consider varying the rhythm and rhyme scheme to add more musicality to the poem.

    Overall, this poem is a beautiful declaration of love and devotion. Keep writing and exploring different techniques to enhance your expression even further. Great job!
