Elusive Self
my heart calls
I have caught all
my teardrops in
a glass goblet
for you to swallow
Now you can gauge
the depths of my love
along the river banks
I glimpse your
azure face
and the sun's rays falling
prostrate at your spangled feet
sometimes I camouflage
myself as a golden deer
praying you'll bestow
a tender caress
one single rosebud kiss
possessed and enchanted
I stalk your inebriating
love
like a shadow chases the
light
Is there hope for me
beloved?
can I survive one instant
without You
