Below your surface, lies quiet core-
deep, shiny secrets- settled on score.
I'd set a stickpin, straight in time-
ask aid of runes, bestow this find...

Just to have you near.

At hiss of needle-point in thumb-
I'd task the soil with bits of blood.
Congealing quick, as never were
I'd feed the stones, and let it pour...

Just to have you near.

The hazy cool of trees in blend-
point out a path and mark it: mend.
I follow short, element's desire clear-
skyward, I give thanks, on silent tear...

Because I can
feel you near

"...But a tyrant spell has bound me,
And I cannot, cannot go...
~Emily Bronte

Soft, and yet mysterious, quite the combination here, Tanya.  I love seeing this side of you.  The pathway is set, indeed.

Beautiful . . . I'm sure the object of this poem of wanting thinks it is also . . .
