Who did he know?



I hear the voice
that claims my name
invisible being
one and the same
who is this man
where did he go
who did he touch
who did he know. 

The end comes closer
in each word I write
as every last breath
drifts into the night
it hangs above 
stays out of sight
I feel its shadow
I sense its bite.

Loving whoever
coming alive
in melodic echoes
without compromise
passions noble
intimacy sublime
losing our way
leaving no one behind. 

Lift me up slowly
through the faint light
across the dark borders
that hide in the night
reaching for something
so misunderstood
wishes I wanted
a wish that I could.

I hear the voice
that claims my name
invisible being
one and the same
who is this man
where did he go
who did he touch

who did he know.
