The First Chapter Part 1

I knew that once I stopped 
frantically looking
you would magically appear
I knew that once I stopped 
dramatically sulking
you would emerge from the sphere

your form is a sultry black
your deep hue is smooth 
and unblemished
when I first drank
from your fertile fountain 
I was immediately replenished

you have the eyes of God 
they enrapture me
in every and all ways
they caused me 
to reappraise 
my decision to give into the malaise

I foolishly believed 
that I wasn’t chosen
to be one of loves remaining
but I know that God
let me see you standing there
once I stopped doubting and complaining

"I knew that once I stopped frantically looking..." "but I knew that God would let me see you standing there." sounds like a happy ending, even if the process of stopping doubts and complaining is hard.
