Stalker--Ron Mouadeb

You stalked me from dawn to dusk,
and rounded the earth at night.

You tried to hide behind a shield of darkness,
and watched me brilliantly from the moon instead.

You tortured me with your full body glowing,
and teased me with the faintest crescent smiles.

You put seven seas between us,
but I still set out to feel your warmth against my now frigid flesh.

I swim, with each stroke leaving me at precisely the same spot.
As you continue to dip into the sea
just beyond the horizon,
forever out of reach.
