Enigma Poem by Brian Hinckley

Enigma



Wash away the feeling of not belonging
and keep me in your embrace.
I long for your kiss and touch,
like a man dying of thirst longs for water.


He doesn't know who she is, nor where she came from, but she runs through his mind constantly. She is his best friend, his confidant, yet knows nothing about her. She has told him everything about her and has been open beyond words about her feelings, yet has not said a single word.

I need your voice to cut into me
and your mind to dazzle me.
Send me spinning and never stopping,
just keep me from falling, I beg you.

She is his beginning and end, forever keeping him guessing. She brought him to life with an offhand remark and killed him in the silence ever after. He knows he is lucky to have her in his life; he knows he is a fool for letting her in so far. His savior and murderer, wrapped in a shining ball of enigma.

Angel or devil,
I welcome both.
Kiss me or kill me,
as long as it's you.
