Here I stand silently
flushed and tearful-
in my broken pride,
like a storm-cloud,
laden with rain and
charged with lightning,
lowering over the horizon...
Why was I so proudly confident
that one day you would be mine-
and that you would have me in confidence?
What stood in our way?
Nothing perhaps,
It was all a tangle
of a multitude of things-
nothing definitely palpable...
Perhaps I am a mystery to my own mind.
If once the whole of myself should know me,
I would then fling it all away,
and reach beatitude !
or perhaps forget my lost, false pride...
great use of metaphor
