kannamma raising above

between one sentence
and the other
how much goes unsaid?
between one electric meeting
of the eyes
and the next
how many times
the sea of thought
rises and falls like tides?
when all that's wanted
is to know and be known
to leave these confines and merge
what use these paltry words?
who could think
they would ever bridge
the gap between us?
and eyes
windows to the soul
do you open?
or you just let us glimpse
while keeping up the divide
revealing but
never releasing?
oh fleeting moments
of rapturous connection
are you real?
are you worth the pain
that falls between,
pain, that is not so fleeting?
do you lead to my destination?
or you just make me feel
more deeply
how truly alone I am?
