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
