Ode To the One I Seek Part 1
ODE TO THE ONE I SEEK part 1
Alone I am but not lonely
The you I sought is the one homely
Why do you from me hide your face?
A search for you is a maze
My gift to imagine and figure, for you worked not
I cried blood because you made me humane
I never knew, you were this close
It hurt me that you’re near a toe
Love was not what I seek
Greatness is my early morning milk
However, full in knowledge you made meek
How can I express with voice when my hand is sharp
God never told me, there is love
Now you have a spell over me, my dove
Give me time that I may see your glow
Tell me if I am a sinner and I will wear a saintly glove
