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.
