Since the last date for the online contest in https://www.facebook.com/events/523261424356926 is over I'm posting my entry here:

Consummation

Years and years of courtship,
An endless sport of dalliance
Is this magnificent obsession
That grows on fiery fantasies.

The little birdie warbles
Hidden in the thickly leaved trees;
So doth my playful lover-
Our sweet nothings fill the air.

I grope in vain
To touch the villain-
Keeps dodging, the wicked thief.
When will he take me in his arms?

Oh, my prince charming!
On the day I was born
You began to follow
Like my own shadow.

My senses are aching,
My tantalising darling,
Really feeling you by my side,
But still unseen and untouched.

I gasp for breath
When you brush by me!
All I can do is nothing but
Waiting, waiting and waiting!

Come and end my agonies!
Open the gates of ecstasies!
Finally the consummation
Shall be my emancipation!

Birth and death of mortals
Two sides of a coin make-
A meaningful whole behind
This game of hide and seek!
