- wispy fleeting phantom
- longing grazes the edges of my soul
- just out of sight
- A faint perfume
- it hangs midair
- a memory not quite complete
- touching feelings
- stirring something
- not quite there
- yet real
- sweet Jesus
- how long until once more your gaze arrests my heart
- you come and go
- now touching
- not keeping distant
- unpredictable like breath of wind
- when can I find you?
- will you be captured as you have captured me?
- sweet sadness overtakes me
- lending voice
- to the pensive song
- of a lovesick soul
- less wild lovers call
- sending forth their saccharine smells
- false appeals
- stemming not from love
- but raging hate
- they promise joy tonight
- cheaply
- if I but take and eat
- I glance
- but longing calls
- and sweater far its misty strains
- than any pledge of instant glee
- lovely Lord
- stretch forth your wounded hand
- and drip the precious
- fragrant flow of passioned love all over me again
- retake my battered heart
- steal me away to secret place where deep and deep engage
- I love you Lord
- I want your presence gorging me
- consuming me
- with fervent zeal
- to know you more
- living flame
- beset me now
- with love divine
- and say to me again
- beloved I am yours
- and you are mine
- but release does not yet come
- the veil is torn
- I've entered in
- yet still I see with eyes be dimmed as in a glass
- when shall I know as I am known?
- when shall the hope be realized?
- how long will mortal flesh impede desire?
- how long?
- wispy fleeting phantom
- longing grazes the edges of my soul
- just out of sight
- a faint perfume
- it hangs midair
- a memory not quite complete
- touching feelings
- stirring something
- not quite there
- yet near
- so very near
