Waiting & Willing
by John Nelson
Distant in a corner
calm, cool, collected
simple but stuck on time
difficult words yet remind
stress tightens, pressure about to burst
how to understand when hands burn
blood boils, temperature rise
sweat permeates, body shakes
you need another glance
head rush to your feet
eyes lock, first time
naghty thoughts run through the mind
reality sets in, senses override
until one moment catches you off guard
be ready for defeat
Than there she was
Love at your feet
