Hidden Hearts

Hidden hearts

A tragic end
They meet as friends
With love that cannot be
You, duty bound
I dare not say
Just what you mean to me
These souls do yearn
These hearts do ache
With love no one can see
For quiet hearts
They hide away
This pain and treachery
So on lives love
In a quiet tomb
It waits with hopeful glee
To hear you say
I'm free my love
Come away with me
So till that day
I'll wait my love
On yon balcony

Such a poem....uhh. I'm deeply touched in my heart and soul. It is easy to see the tragic, star-crossed love here, reminiscent of THE greatest romance of all time and fully worthy of the "Swan of Avon"... It is yet inexplicably familiar to me on a personal level. Beautiful poem. Beautiful poet. CTB
