The Inadequate Word

Twisted in eddies through whirlpools of living
we are experimentalists with emotions of affection 
as vocabulary of language cannot denote- 
for measures in words are profoundly inadequate   
for two spirits forged in the crucible of souls
tempered in moments by breath of existence.
 For no voice had nor thoughts expressed
      what heart has heard as love’s guest.
