Know thy treasure. #garland cinquain

She stands upon a cliff and wonders…
How far?
How long?
How true?

He roams the world and ponders…
For her?
For me?
For us?

“I have followed ambition, I have chased the dream; yet all else I found, I left behind!”

This gold
Stay ye away
Treasure that blinds one so
Whilst thy love dwindles with the tide
Alone

Be when –
my heart be sank
To lose its morning star
Beyond riches, and beyond reach
Priceless

Amour
Flee my cutlass
For need plunders my soul
And greed drives me ever further
Bleeding

Cry not
Lest sea be stained
And ye’ curse haunts me’ step
When stars be gone, and I be lost
Hopeless

Beyond
Cliff and mountain
Away from own desires
Dwells one for whom I am Desire
Yonder

This gold
my heart be sank
For need plunders my soul
When stars be gone, and I be lost
Yonder

She was never his dream, but everything else she was; his wench and his lady, his whore and his virtue, his weakness and his strength, yet always he sought the dream; because she was already real, and she could wait, and she was his! But ever he gazed at the heavens and wondered, ‘Is it better to dream alone, than dream together?’ and each time he made the very same wish; “I wish you were here.”
