Love Poem: The Seeker

The Seeker

where you walked
the grass is greener
where you slept 
a sweet perfume
where you breathed
the air is cleaner
perhaps I will find you soon
  seeking out your passing
essence
just behind your wispy 
pressence
in the air an
effervescense
perhaps I will find the rune
    Find the rune that must be chanted
find the secret to your name
solve the clues that have been planted
in this dark December game.
    friends have fooled me
saying only 
that  I can't find you again
can't they tell I'm dying lonely
and I cannot bear the pain
   I never saw you in your bier
and I don't believe it's true
let them light a funeral pyre
show some sign
that it is you
  ashes blowing past my lashes
bring the tears  we never cried
I'll keep searching till I find you
I can hear you deep inside
  as you whisper how you love me
that you're waiting 'round the bend
how you're always thinking of me
and our love will never end.
