Dear Secret Love

Dear Secret Love, 

Love is a many-colored arch 
displayed by rays of sun 
and best seen in the wake of clouds 
just after storms are done. 

Love is a rosebud reaching up 
to drink its fill of dew 
that it might blossom in the warmth 
of sun that shines anew. 

Love is a midnight symphony. 
Its music only heard 
in hearts awakened by the song, 
as joy inspires the bird. 

Love is a sign of hope that shines 
for anyone who'll see, 
who'll lift his eyes from earth to sky 
and dream of what might be. 

So if you'll lift your downcast face 
and look for signs above, 
you'll see a rainbow, kiss the dew 
and hear the song of love. 

Then, hopefully you'll understand, 
I am your rainbow light, 
I am the rose that thirsts for you, 
I am your love songs in the night.

Thanks Beryl, that secret love eventually became my wife. The poem was started early in our relationship when she was still feeling the pain of divorce from an abusive husband. She didn't want to talk about love at that point, though we eventually did. The poem was intensely personal and it took me a while to share it. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Ron
