Hidden

This heart of mine  
daily shovels deeper  
a hollow seeking you  
 
How can desire be so all-consuming?  
 
The ache turns everything  
You-colored  
 
You’re everywhere, always on my mind  
So how is it, I can nowhere find You?  
 
I want to talk to you!  
 
Have I a single verse  
Where doesn’t hide your name  
(softly under-breath  
in so many hidden meanings)  
 
you are hidden deeper than  
the mere turn of words  
You have forever blinded me  
It’s unfair you see  
How more gone you are  
 
every night I miss you more  
Tonight, I feel it in my chest  
In the tingles through my body  
The catch in my throat  
 
I’ve run out of words  
There aren’t enough ways to say  
How there’s not enough of you in today  
 
Whisper my name  
Close to my ear  
Breath on my neck  
Hidden whisper  
“I’m here”  
 
Tickle my lips with memories soft and dear  
Your lips  
Soft and dear  
 
Hidden  
 
Animate my dreams
with your reality
Make it mine, too
Somewhere
Somehow
Someday

Please don’t stay
Hidden
