Have I tried too hard?
Obsessed over how to keep your almond eyes
Locked on this mystery long enough to bestow
Distilled expressive justifications of a robust
Interest in an old and reliable rustic strength
Nothing I have pressed so far has drained the
Gorge which keeps me away from your thoughts
On weekdays, I try to draw closer to your smile because
New delights await us, when you don’t resist my touch
