*
I began the search to free my soul
It stopped when I found you ,
An unexpected shortcut
To places strange and new.
I wanted what you held inside;
I wanted it for me.
I wanted what you could not hide
From one searching to see.
A glimmer, focused now and then
Toward my seeking gaze,
Hinted at the riches, held beyond,
Still hidden in the haze.
The treasure there inside your mind
Where I could never go
Seduced my hopes, made my heart blind,
And rendered weak my soul.
But what you owned and what I sought,
I could not take from you.
I had to gain it for myself,
And start my search anew.
So I turn away to carve my fate
A different path I'll forge
To find what I yet contemplate,
But want now all the more.
