I’ve searched for stones
Limping from broken bones
I laid bare searching for something so rare
~~~
I stood on peaks vista’s and mountains
I lowered myself in valleys
I bathed in historical mystical fountains
~~~
Searching for you
~~~
I walked dangerous terrain
I kept going even while searching with a broken brain
~~~
I roamed from day till dusk
This was not about lust
Much more about trust
I was in the muck and mire
Burning with desire
~~~
I laid bare searching for something so rare
I honored the sabbath and respected your status
I mantra’d the lords prayer
I prayed while scared
I covered my hair
I lowered my eyes conscience of the devils glare
I searched and searched but the gods weren’t playing fair
I paced the valley of the kings searching for rings and pretty things
I made a declaration to a nation through meditation
I ignored sexual sensations
I refrained from masturbation
I nurtured generations
I promoted positive vibrations
I wrote away self-hatred and internal allegations
~~~
While searching for you
~~~
I laid bare searching for something so rare
I was overcome with despair
~~~
I searched for stones
Limping from broken bones
~~~
I was longing for belonging
I was
~~~
Desperately
~~~
Searching
~~~
For you

I love every line of the poem. And the rhyming end-stops. It’s very good! 👍
Did you write it in one sitting or you had to come back to edit?
Thank you, I used to be able to write a piece in one setting, now it takes a few days. My brain ain’t what it used to be 😊
Thank you for visiting! ❤️
Whoa! Writing a good piece in a sitting isn’t so easy to do sis. What matters is the beauty of the lines. You are welcome.
