I LOOKED FOR...

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
