I KNOW YOU, YET I DO NOT

I EMBRACE YOU, MY ARMS ARE EMPTY

YOUR PRESENCE SURROUNDS ME, I AM NOT WITH YOU

I BURN INSIDE, MY FIRE YOU HAVE NOT FELT


YOUR BODY MOVES IN RHYTHMIC DANCE, I HEAR NOT THE MUSIC

MESSAGES HAVE BEEN SENT, MY LIPS REMAIN STILL

MY SOUL CALLS OUT YOUR NAME, YOU GIVE NO RESPONSE

SALACIOUS SHOWERS RAIN OVER ME, YOUR WATERS DO NOT FLOW

I KNOW YOU, I KNOW YOU, TIME AWAITS NO ONE


I HAVE WALKED IN YOUR PATH, YOU NOTICE ME NOT

MY HEART DOTH PAIN, YOU TEND NOT THE WOUND

I KNOW YOU, MORE THAN A LIFETIME IT SEEMS

MY EMOTIONS CALL OUT FROM STRAIN, BUT THERE IS SILENCE, SILENCE, SILENCE

ENERGY FORMS THROUGHOUT, RELEASE COMES NOT


STAY AWAY DESISTANCE, LET ME KNOW AS I HAVE KNOWN

I HAVE KNOWN THE GENTLENESS, YOUR SMILE IS NOT FOR ME

I HAVE FELT YOUR SOFTNESS, I HAVE NOT TOUCHED YOU

YOUR NECTAR FLOWS FORTH A STREAM, I NEITHER DRINK NOR TASTE IT'S SWEETNESS

I BREATHE IN THE PERFUME OF YOUR SCENT, YOU ARE NOT NEAR ME


I KNOW YOU AS I HAVE KNOWN NO ONE ELSE BEFORE

I KNOW YOU IN THE DEEPEST RECESSES OF INTIMACIES

I KNOW YOU, I KNOW YOU, I KNOW YOU

I BECKON FOR YOU, TO NOW KNOW ME

to have known...yet, not known
to have loved...but not loved

we suffer the strength of our misery
trying to be what others want us to be
ACCEPTANCE--belonging--is a basic need
that sense of others, upon which we feed

'til one door is left ajar
and we love that one from afar
touching...but not touched
overwhelmed by senses and such

to have loved...yet, not loved
known...but not known

KEEP WRITING, POET.

Much appreciated!!!!
The River Doth Flow
The Thirst Will Be Quenched
The Coolness Shall Refresh
Life Will Flourish.....
There's a saying that if we seek we shall find and if we knock, the door will be opened..
I say if we do none of these, we will never truly have lived...
Take The Leap.....If we don't we'll never know what might have been....
