the deepest nude

i close my eyes to find your quiet touch

of secrets while the night imbues my soul

that lonely urge for all i thirst and such

unveiling thought; i fair my unfilled bowl

for you to charm me as the hours grow dim

and we are left to share my solitude

my bowl it seems you furnished to the brim

to have me drink it in the deepest nude

i need you far more than you'll ever know

you justify my life through my pen's ink

and how i pray before the candle's glow

you will not fade away in the first blink

beyond what words i've poured through your embrace

for i cannot release without your grace
