"Submersion"

I need to know

whats in here.

what lies submerged

under skin and bones

tissues and veins

what is your lifeline

besides the rhythmic

beat of a muscle

pumped to the core

heard in my ear

as I rest upon your chest.

I need to know

what's in here

what lies soul deep

of hidden/chasms

of unexplored terrain

rustic and begging

to be a beaten path

from one's sole of their feet

I need to know

the simplicity of your

intricacies laid in

plain view yet

puzzling to the eye.

Enigma. a logic

that can only be

philosophised in the

hidden works of great poems

and metric within verse.

I need to know

what's in here

whats.

in.

here.

what truly moves you

and shakes you

makes your mojo

be your soul flow

and dance your life

to an offbeat chord.

I need to know

want to know

desire to know

what's in here. in you.

because

I am simply and

utterly in love

with what lies

(in there.)
