​                        Fill Me With Your Words

I ache with hunger
An unexplainable craving
for words of beauty
of pain and joy
Your truth
and mine mixed in a pot
of knowing

I read the poem
take it apart
save that which 
pierces through my heart
until I bleed
that which reaches the core
of me
until I cry 
Then, I see,
feel you
touch you
yet you are nowhere near me
In fact you are on the other side
the light of understanding goes on
of what the poet was trying to bite off
and chew
I then get inside of them
to digest it
they "feed" me
as they are fed.

Our spirits then full
stare at each other
with "awe".
I am full
once again.
The "hunger" is however,

Eternal.
