An Honorable Secret

i love you with eye's that you cannot see
with lips that cannot speek it's hearts desire
with a poem that i dare not write
and a song that i cannot sing
i love you with hands that do not touch
a voice that will not tell how much
a presence so unworthy
and yet it seems it is for you i live
day and night i keep you in sight
for you are in my minds eye
and your beauty it requites
all the loyalty of my time
but by your mate is where you belong
you with me is something wrong
an oath to them has been sworn
yet to me , you are my adorn

Some secrets are better kept, if they would be harmful. Better yet is to forget and not have secrets. Good to read your poem today, as it made me think.

Forbidden fruit is always the most tempting but sweet as it is there is always a high price. Best to seek your love elsewhere. Good verse here. Some typos but nothing too serious. God Bless, JB

Love finds a way whether in person or not. Just needs to find that special person you are describing here. Love those last 4 words, such a nice way to say it. Luv, Lizabeth
