~ I AM I

I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,

I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Vanished as a sprite in a tale,
Missing as an albatross at sea.

Oh please!
Plunge me deep in love
Put out my senses,
Leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by a tempest
I cannot find.
