Her Irresistible Pearls

Once again reticent as the tide Behind her own, lines as prophesied She draws back in a retreat like a sea Forever called homewards, invitee. She'll make landfall & then disappears Leaving behind a single gritty tear That never dries until her return, Lured back by the moons calling, Nocturne. Music so thrilling, she just longed to stay, And nuzzle every curve and bay. In your beauty, you had come to stay Washed ashore from far away As I waited for you To be the love of my life—to come, to me I heard a cry no more yearning to go Than before; So far away you seemed to me A distant, cry, unheard to be Until I looked for myself, so far away, from me I saw only you, —in me. Outwardly my appearance glows moonlike Naked as the day, I left my Mother's womb, You were more than just some distant shore; You shone like a fog light a burning coal, A floodlight cinder in my soul Your inner beauty a glowing white pearl You transformed, internally my whole-wide-world. In my maternal Mother I wait for my life to be My Mother please comes back to me I wait for you, —in me. You were always alone Left for me to comb & search I was always-the-one With you, to one day be. Now no longer alone As you leave me to me Alone, without you in me I find myself in love, clinging firmly To him, I'll never-leave-again. That fathered my heart gave back my soul.
