A Secret Between Us

A Poem by Kyle Francisco

Selling obscurities
taking you on twists and turns
like a movie I have you glued to your seat
effervescent
the enigmatic
visage of tactic
soft
persuasive subtleties
calculated blatancy
here so near
promises far from bleak
yet none I aim to keep
atmosphere of uncertainty
beauty has no play
echo of thoughts held
only on prevails
feelings escalate
no wishes to escape
co conspirator of escapade
along for the ride
no will to hide
I plant only the seed
till in your mind
contrive deed
on fringe of boundary
led along passage
compelled with demonic language
whisk away into night
revealed when time is right
victim of intoxicating plight
