alas I love you
and I delighted in your company
prove me wrong
if you will

now

if you would deign to see me once
more
and you know this

why should you?


alas I will enfold you still
with a longing twofold
with my touch
and embrace give
what is yours to have

in a complex maze
I still turn
each step closer
with no lesser grace
than you share

and with a swift motion
towards our borderline
my sword cuts deeper still
in a knot and twine
caressing circles abound

before us stands
a solemn promise
nothing else
