Unknown to Me
‘Unknown’ to Me,
'She' writhes beneath My skin.
I exhale Her with ev’ry breath.
She is the heat within.
And when My breath returns,
it is rich with Her scent —
a perfume so effuse,
My heart, forever pent.
For to roam,
it does refuse:
it is still — biding —
and consumes abuse.
As if this hunger
shall ever subside;
as if it thirsts
just to be denied.
She is ‘unknown’ to Me.
She has kept Herself afar.
She is worth all to Me —
that 'She' that YOU are.
'She' writhes beneath My skin.
I exhale Her with ev’ry breath.
She is the heat within.
And when My breath returns,
it is rich with Her scent —
a perfume so effuse,
My heart, forever pent.
For to roam,
it does refuse:
it is still — biding —
and consumes abuse.
As if this hunger
shall ever subside;
as if it thirsts
just to be denied.
She is ‘unknown’ to Me.
She has kept Herself afar.
She is worth all to Me —
that 'She' that YOU are.
