Expecting always-nice things to happen, <br />leads us to dream in great expectation. <br /> <br />A flower budding in my love garden, <br />soars my expectations sky high, <br />the bud transforms into a beautiful rose, <br />only the feelings and rival expectations make it die, <br />the ensuing sadness strangles my great expectations. <br /> <br />The love song music playing in background, <br />creates expectations of attaining the love divine, <br />only the melancholy music and lyrics sinks my heart, <br />the loneliness overwhelms my great expectations. <br /> <br />The silent overcast of Stratus clouds, <br />fills my expectations with the hopes of romantic landscape, <br />My love and me would be rolling in snow united as one, <br />the stark cold freezes my imagination to a smiling snowman, <br />his waving hand gesture makes farewell to my great expectations. <br /> <br />I hope the rays of great expectations keep shining on me, <br />If the shine turns into dark shadows, my great expectations will die with me.<br /><br />Jay P Narain<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/great-expectations/
