how shall I wait for you? how can I stop

      how shall I wait for you? how can I stop
      fantasizing about the joy of your
      embrace and the wonders of your kisses?
      how can I be stirred in this reverie,
      where the heavens are filled with shooting stars,
      and the stars are as beautiful as you?
      truly, you are my dream; you are the star
      in my eyes! since the day you shone upon
      me, my being has been an entirety.
      until you glimpsed upon the recesses
      of my inanimate existence, I
      had regarded fate no more than friendship.
      I shall wait for you if you ask me to,
      if only to tell you that I love you.

            Lowell R. Luis
