Where art
thou?
O beautiful
and bountiful maiden!...
Show thy
face…and put shadows to shame
End agony to
aching loins…this verse make worthy O maiden!
Why do you
conceal ripeness so?
What evil is
this?
Mine
thoughts will do me death save care
I pray thee,
show me you absent garment
Would that
you’d come unto me O maiden!
Set me afire
in finger doses
Do me until
I’m undone
Expend till
I lay spent
Would that
you’d lower heaving chest to parched lips waiting
For as long
as staff guides weary feet,
Loyal I am
to thy watering hole
This
bittersweet agony
This
unending thirst…
If I may
expire thence…O maiden,
Let it be in
the cool of thy watering hole
Guide me to
thine heart
Through the
door between thy thighs…
And let at
last my staff know peace.
Such a beautiful poem, expressions of a lover worshiping at the altar of his love
ReplyDeleteI'm compelled to agree with you. Your comment "expressions of a lover worshipping at the altar of his love" hooked me into acquiscence". Thank you.
