Pearls Of Great Price

Unable to receive love, restless

Tired, angry, lonely

Do I wish for you or you for me?

We are both worth it, this I know

Someday, I have to believe

We will find each other

Stephen Pursell, 1/29/06

I have beaten your husband brutally

Forgive me if I have failed you

He knows, He knows

Ripe now...or overgrown with weeds?

"Harvest My Heart" it was called

Fifteen years ago I wrote to you

I have so much for you

I love you

Feeling abandoned, passed over

Unseen, unwanted

Over the years, groping for love?

How many poems have I written

I've ached that we would have children

The one I long to touch

Or one of them anyway

But I am missing my crown

My name means garland

I wonder if you pray for me

I try to pray for you

I think about you, I wonder

Or do I, do we?

Yet I do not even know you

You move me

You fit me, I fit you

Perhaps me made you out of me

I know he made me for you
