Hidden Love

Hidden Love

I keep you in the space between two hearts.

Masquerading as a lette.r, I address  so far

Not sent.

My tongue is a locked gate, my eyes, two thieves.

That steal a peep,  then quickly decipher. 

They call my name, and I acknowledge, 

Even cool- a lake that never ripples in the wind.

But underneath, a current breaks its rule.

Each time you're unwary, laughter pulls me in.

So let the world see void but the shore- I'll

Submerge in you and ask for not but the shoreline-

I'll drown in you and ask for nothing more.
