Sugar and spice

I turned around and tones of nigh

Filled the space and pierced me through.

Not a clue of former light,

And not a movement. Where are you?



You were here a breath ago;

Your smell still mesmerizes mind.

I floated on, and didn't know

That you were somewhere far behind.



I searched for you on peaks of lust

And swam in oceans of despair;

Ruffled grass and bothered dust.

Where are you, my sweetness, where?



I rushed through past, through every day,

I knocked on doors, but not a man

Has ever met you on his way.

Did I lose you? Sugar, when?



At last, I found myself alone.

It's all regret and sadness now.

You've left a mesage on a stone:

"You lost me, bitterness, but how?"
