Baited

Shall I wait for you
Like trees reach for the sky
Like embers burn
And hot spots
Spark,
Until water quenches
The desire
Shall I wait for you
While your absence
Or indifference to love
Wiles away the glow
That hides and resides
Deep within
Like caterpillars change
Into butterflies inside
Cocoons
Shall I wait for you
Like balloons
Soar to heights unreachable
And unforeseeable
No strings attached
Nothing holding love
Back
Shall I wait for you
