I Shall Find Romance
in each caress imagined as I sense
an exhalation of your breath a thousand miles away;
a passion riding on a single breeze
that reaches me, enabled by a power
that might emerge only from opening
a single shroud.
I have indeed erected barriers
when I perceived time's echos
thrum along the stony path.
They cannot be ignored.
No, it is not imagining.
You alone have created those sweet touches
of devotion, though endless fields of blood
will make their claim
on history's Page One.
But it is for me,
the destiny which sets discovery
as truth, though that is not the end,
for my sole happiness is in revelation,
be it celebration of success
or contemplation of your darkest hour.
It is you who provides such insight.
You, the one who teaches me these
mystic-laden concepts of romance...
and I shall stubbornly pursue them,
make of them my own,
cherish them within me
Until my Dying Day.
