Waiting

Waiting
For the perfect moment
To waltz in
For perfect words
To satisfy that hollow
Slap in the face
Reality

The melted caress
The wow party dress
To make up for
That anxious
Vacant sigh

Snagged
In a web of self scrutiny
Beloved Somebody
Somebody
Yet to bloom savvy

Emptiness
Kindred sister of possibility
Existing to shape
A feeling of completion

Knowing and believing
Each moment to be fuel
For the next desire
Or perhaps just
Be
Erupting potential

Creation from the void
Space
Where the force breathes
Anxiously stirring
Slippery with reason

Yearning
Shimmering and shapeless
Shadows begging for form
A golden moment
Waiting
To Be

My goodness...I was sucked in after the first few lines...I read it like three times after that...it is so well written and has so much emotion that it is impossible not to want to read it over and over...great job...I am new to this site and I have already been impressed by so many poems and this one is one of my favs...

Thank you :) Sites such as these often serve as ego infusers or defusers. I am looking for real criticism and can handle the harsh stuff if need be. I also realize we can't please everyone, just as in music with its many varied tastes, what stimulates the mindscape is always very personal. nonetheless I appreciate all your comments and take them all to heart. Thank you for this community - I've missed it. Maybe I'll hang out here a little more - it's been a while :)

This piece is so deep and penetrating. I like how it slows the reader down. It's impossible to skim through it. Each line makes one think. Well done.
The only down side is the adverb in the 3rd line of the last stanza. I'd toss it out. "Just" adds nothing to the piece but clutter.
