The Within

Poems, so weak and thin,
Strained efforts to free the within.

The within so deep, but yearning to emerge
Unable to ride the common words.

The within - illusive; sensed, but not.
Chest tight, sigh deep, then aught.

And you are there, within the within.
By poems I search your place therein.

My senses speak of the naught that is
And your presence within that unseen-ness.

Your fragrance, your voice, your touch, your eyes
Your lips, the taste of passionate sighs.

O that I could a word devise
To call to the depths the within to arise

To show itself, the naught that is
And your presence within that unseen-ness.
