Essence
Tracing that which is beyond knowing

Your sensual beauty
grabs my eyes,
sends lightning down my spine,
and a wind across my spirit.
I dive deeper -
catch a glimpse a
of your fleeing essence,
running like a playful nymph.
To know you
To feel your soul
To taste your essence...
Skin is not enough,
No interface of words or flesh will suffice.
To know is impossible.
It is a mockery to say:
You can only be experienced
Moment by moment
And infinite seconds fall short.
The essence is shy,
Untouchable, unknowable, untamable,
Even from yourself.
You are a dancing flame that
warms coldness all around
and dwarfs the summer heat.
