Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name

When I envision you, all I see is my

future.

Alignment within our recesses of the heart prove that you are 

mine.

You, with your existence, your beauty, your intelligence, it truly is
unreasonable how much I care for 

you.

Let us sail through the land of concealed secrecy, where our love will not be 
judged, critiqued, or even mentioned on the lips of others.

Only wanted, in the mind.
Only desired, in the heart.

Let us become the legend of the love that dare not speak its 

name.

History will remember us as 

The Lovers.

It was so out of reach for the others that weren't 

you

and weren't 

me.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
