Poetry | I Search For You

hafsah January 7, 2013 Poetry0 Comments

I search for you in every face, A mighty tower, Staunch, head held high – Sublime words Flooding with humility Stir my mind. I search for you in every eye, An evincing window Diamond clear, reflective – And yet, like dark esoteric waters That wash over me, Warm and salving. …
