I ask where home is/
and you answer/ Here with me/
you even handed me the keys/
and while you wait/
with the table prepared/ candles lighted/
slow steam rising with tantalising scents/
flowers to draw the eye in every room/
while you wait with sweet impatience
as one in love for the beloved/
while you wait/ my love/
with hands that yearn to come and offer me
what I can’t yet receive/
while you wait/ beloved/
I wander/as if lost/ around the house/
in fear of giving what I can’t afford to be without/
it seems an awful choice to make
that we both wait
