Poetry - Possessed

Across the sea…

in the blue end be

a little solace …

in a lonely place

with trees so dark

with glowing bark ..

leaves which glisten

as I listen

sounds of heart

pounding so fast

as I cross

roads so crass

leading to an end

then having a bend

as I walk

the lonely path

I shun the world

purge the mind

drew the blind

as I kneel

over the pond

and plucked some water

between my palms

and in it were you

looking at me .

I turned behind

only to find

a distant hill

beyond the chill …

and I rushed

with all my might

having the distant

knoll in sight

trees cried

so did the sea

don’t go, don’t go

O! wanderer knight

but possessed I was

with your only sight

I jumped the tree

and crossed the sea

only to find

everything but thee

and I sat

gasping for breath

as I longed

a little solace

in a lonely place ……
