Waiting for kingdom come: A poem 

My love for you is so immensely precious 

that I have waylaid my own deserved justice 

My earth wallows without equinox or solstice 

I am superhuman invincible but not Invictus 

This unshaking faith has sacrifice like kites 

flying against a daunting, merciless sunrise 

I never did once take away your loyalties 

But relinquished all mine for you, with no royalties 

None can pick me out for impulsive impatience 

None can single me out for abandoning resilience 

I have lived with a troubled divided conscience 

Counting thorns as roses of immaculate good sense 

I am a valet to this seemingly unending ballet 

Only a chalet in destiny’s oversized roulette 

Will you?… for all my perpetual waiting, waiting 

for kingdom come, like an infracted exiled king
