INEXPLICABLE

I tried to capture you in my words
Maybe because that's all I have
The only way to touch
But the most I could retrieve
Was a little bit of your sillage
Lingering between my fingertips
For how can words describe
The way
You caught my whispers
Within your lips?
Or the way you danced me
Upon the stars
Twirling madly.
The way you made me fall in love
With the beauty that darkness hides
Or the tenderness
That seeps
From fallen tears of rain
I tried to paint you with my ink
But all in vain 

It’s true
That you are not
From the well of my ink
My ink is

Because of you!
