i
looked for you
in
the soft light of dawn
and
i searched for you
in
moonless gloom
i
lay exhausted
under
the mid-day sun
dreaming
of you
a
chimera of fume
i
plumbed the depths
of
my own heart
to
fathom you
or at least assume
i
floated to the stars
to
find you there
raced
like a meteor
in
the vastness of doom
but
you were nowhere
not
in a tomb
nor
in the nectar
of
a flower in bloom
yet,
you were within me
in
the recesses of my soul
like
a mischievous child
in the shadows of my womb
