Sweet Agony/Cruel Ecstasy

Sweet agony and

Oh so cruel ecstasy

The sweet agony lays

In the anticipation

The ecstasy of glimpsing

Adonis from afar

Being cruel in its

Promise unrequited

The unfinished sentence

The unsaid thought

The door left ajar

Winking back at me!

The song yet composed

Pining for its melody

The voyage yet traveled

It’s homecoming not yet conceived of

The flame yet extinguished

Soft red burning embers

Faint but glowing

In the distance.
