Fulfilled
Before my heart loved you , my soul sought  after you.
Searching all manner of idolatry, but finding only apathy.
In pursuance of a soaring desire for devotedness,
yet only encountering disloyalty disguised as passion.
All wreaking carnage on an innocent pneuma,
Believing that all was lost and love a mere chimera,
I became a torpid recluse walking through a sunless life.
Feeling a drought in my heart with no oasis in view.
A thirst for survival and a longing to drink at the well of desire.
Our love now could fill an ocean and still overflow.
Your gently sweetness never tidal but ever constant.
Your absence leaves words hanging, waiting for your return,
Yet waiting is a sweet joy, anticipation of dreams fulfilled
and knowing that my heart will evermore be filled with love.

Hi Lodigiana,
This beautiful poem inspired me to write a Tanka called "Pneuma", which I have just posted. Â Thank you for this lovely work and inspiration.
Peace and Love,

This is one of the best pieces of literature I have read in a very good while. Thoroughly enjoy your expressions of disgust and frustration as well as the positive frame of mind you landed on upon the rectification of what was thought to be forever lost and destroyed. Thank you for sharing.
Dear WormTendon
So sorry for the tardy reply - been travelling but now home. Thank you for your wonderfully inspiring words and such a insight into what I was trying to express!We so often say thank you for people taking the time to comment  but this 'Thank you' comes straight from the heart and makes me so happy that you enjoyed my piece!
