And She Came Back (Free verse) by Enkidu
My Love went out
And she didn't came back
I got lost for awhile
Then I woke up to sunshine
In the woods of my home
Chained to a tree
Two days I waited
And the trunk did tremble
Up from the roots I rose
For miles I left behind
Pieces of me for her to find
But she never came back
I was at the shore in winter
The lake was frozen then
And I shed my clothes
I walked through autumn
And summer and spring
With your memory leading my way
But turned back the way I came
When I saw her walking
Smiling and laughing
And I could not bear to call
Or bear to hamper her stride
Because she was happy
I strode back through the seasons
And stumbled upon a grave
And into it I fell and slept
But when I awoke I was dying
So I pushed the earth from me
And I shattered my wooden bed
An anger found me then
And I drew the gravedigger's wrath
When I spoke against his task
So he quickly blinded me
His shovel twisted my knee
And I was a poor sight
He left me to the mountain
And I was mute from hunger
And I was deaf from pain
I climbed weary and broken
But I found myself home
From touch and fragrance alone
As I waited then to die
I felt fingers graze by cheek
And lips caress my lips
Then I opened my eyes
And my mouth and my head
Because I knew it all along
