A New POEM by Jeremy Caverley: Desperately Seeking



Desperately seeking
Longing for that simple touch
That goes deeper than the skin
Invading, creating, & loving something new
How simple can it be
For me to be able to see

A reflection
Shimmering in the sun
That transcends even into the night
As it pierces the dark and light
To merge into a stronger bond

That’s hidden away like a precious jewel
Kept safe from all harm
A treasure worth fighting for
