Destiny Found

Desire ignited on the dance floor
Encouraged by sweet tasting wine
Shyly sampled by longing lips
Testing the word on my tongue
Identity revealed in love's game
No longer accepting denial
Yet secrecy had to prevail

Fear beyond hope of revival
Outwardly love hid behind smiles
Uttering expected answers on cue
Normality became surreal torment
Duelling with blades of insanity.
