John Gondolf Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Painting by Viktoria Laptiva titled "Playful Mood"

 

Secrets That She Keeps

Secrets that She Keeps

hidden deep within
are secrets that she keeps,
as playful thoughts begin
that make her passions leap.

tender thoughts of him
are roaming through her mind;
these musings less than prim
that blossom unconfined.

dreaming of his touch,
the warmth of his embrace
while held tight in his clutch,
her hands upon his face.

longing for his love,
and hearing tender sighs
while gazing from above
into his soft brown eyes.

ardent are these dreams
but never can they be;
his love is pledged it seems,
alas, his heart’s not free.

tempted with this sin
her smile an impish tease
‘cause hidden deep within
are playful fantasies.

Tansy Roekaerts September 3, 2020 at 8:43 AM Without wanting to sound embarrassingly fan like. I read your poems thinking a few at least must be fillers, but each and everyone is so good. Did you start off crap like me and then get better? Or have you always, been this good? John Gondolf September 3, 2020 at 10:35 AM Wow, I now have a fan club... :) My writing has improved much since I started three years ago. Check your soup mail. John
