Simply Snickers prompt ~ wait + wonder
~
There is no more time
No more yearning time
No more time to wait for
Your gate to open
To welcome me
Home
~
I see the colours of your world
Ebbing and flowing
One gate yawns wide
But sadly
Not for me
~
There is no more time for
Your gate to open
To give me a home
~
You wonder
Perhaps
Who I am
Who I am to you
~
But reality claims
You have no more time
To be
Who you should be

Wonderland Wine

Pic from Claudia Rubinstein ~ Forest Glow

Poefusion's prompt ~ Inspired by Emily Dickinson's Bring me the sunset in a cup
~
Seat me in a hammock of sanctuary
Deep in some ancient garden ~
Let me dine on an entree of florals ~
Heady floral shades and tones
Fanned by waves of green
~
Let me bask in a menu of bird and windsong
With a sidesalad of
Cool
Mystic
Atlantean heavens
~
May a gelato orchard
Of exotic fruits
Be dessert~
Like sparkling sorbet jewels
On a rainbow flavoured bridge
~
And may there be a wine
A precious deep wine
Well matured in the darkest recesses
Of my spirit
Waiting to be uncorked
To breathe awhile
In limpid ecstasy
~
Pour a little of me into the wineglass
And let me enjoy
Being locked
Lonely
Drinking
In a wonderland
That is only mine
~
