Secret Truth

inspired by my timeless lover

 

My diary is found

Beneath the ageless Oak

I weep not for you

Arrogance is a fool!

He broods in icy white

 

My shadow makes love

to another...

 

A dance unrehearsed

Shy secrets

Yearnings remain safely
Concealed deep in lines of

My hand as modesty seduces

 

We were lovers centuries ago

Old and new...

Forever...

Care for...

Respect

Admire

 

Love penetrates boundaries

 

A Healing touch

Explosive

Pure like moon water

Transforms shattered glass

Covets burning flesh

 

Kiss

Caress

Consume

Undress

 

He is the man I see
When I open my eyes...

this is a beautiful piece of writing... very elegantly written.

The imagery in this one is quite taking. I could easily see two lovers laying beneath a live oak tree somewhere and sometime in the old south. The pictures your poem created in my mind looked as if they were filmed in old sepia tone, adding an almost dreamlike and nostalgic side to this. I hesitate to call it gothic, but there are many such undertones. Overall most enjoyable and worthy of re-reading.

This is beautiful..simply beautiful! The imagery is just awesome and the flow indeed has been maintained so perfectly throughout the writing...
I found it intriguing at few places and sad too....or I should write "Beautifully sad"
Great work! :)

Magical, beautiful poem. I have enjoyed your work so far. Thank you.

This is a beautiful job. Very atmospheric. It strides in an ethereal place above the more immediate urgencies of love, passion, and love making. It seems to be love in a conceptual, or abstract form, at least to me. It is also very erotic in an understated way. 'As modesty seduces' is the pivotal part of this classy poem for me.
