Coasters Stop You From Seeping Into Me, Do I Secretly Want You To?

I cradle you in both hands—
the cup is hotter than the blood in me.
I sip until my tongue blisters,
as if pain is the only proof
that I can still be filled.

The table is a witness—
its pale skin bruises under you.
You leave your halo of tannin,
a brown eclipse widening,
seeping into the grain like rot that knows my

Hermann Hesse translation of 'Secretly We Thirst'

Hermann Hesse English Translations

Secretly We Thirst…
by Hermann Hesse
from The Glass Bead Game
translation by Michael R. Burch

Charismatic, spiritual, with the gracefulness of arabesques,
our lives resemble fairies’ pirouettes,
spinning gently through the nothingness
to which we sacrifice our beings and the present.

Whirling dreams of quintessence and loveliness,
like breathing in perfect harmony,
while beneath your bright surface
blackness broods, longing for blood

Premium MemberAt any moment, looking at the world, we don't notice the love that flows secretly

At any moment, looking at the world, we don't notice the love that flows secretly,
Like an unseen river winding through the valley of our days,
Gentleness, a whisper of wind caressing the leaves,
Faith, a glimmer of a star illuminating the darkness of silence.
They are virtues, you might say, but they are more than words;
They are crumbs

Premium MemberSociety Of Secretly Puuurrfectly Poets Tribute

Such an array of complex verse,
orchestrated by a few crazy poets;
Catastrophe of emotions 
instigate more than a few masterpieces;
Engage to inspire that’s the goal,
tighten a skill release a breath of words;
Yank along a heartbeat and write,
over and over again;
Feathers and ink join in a light 
succumbing to a prompt or a soft purr;
Eloquently they swirl

Premium MemberNora Tries To Secretly Graduate

Nora told no one of her plan.
She had been secretly attending college for four years.
She did not expect to see anybody there except her friend Sug.
Sug could not keep a secret. She had told the press.
When Nora walked across the stage she heard “There’s grandma!”
The audience had been told to hold their applause.
Her relatives could

Secretly Adore You

I’ve been wanting to say “Hello”
But I’m a little too shy.
Your expensive smile;
I could not afford it.
I wish it was mine.

Give me those onyx eyes
Can you wink for me, please? 
Each time I come to you
You fly like a breeze

I can recognize your pointed nose
Even though you stand from a distance.
But I like you more

Sun: Secretly Loving You

I am the sun
Loving you like no one else can
To you, I endlessly shine my light
Reflecting it to the moon every night

Embracing you is my life-long dream
But, you’re just so far away it seems
As I gaze upon you each passing day
There are millions of things I want to say

This feeling that keeps on growing
Just like

Secretly Anxious

Sitting without slouching. 

And standing without shaking. 

Remembering that it’s ok to hesitate sometimes. 

If I take a breath-

They are not judging. 

In fact- they are taking the opportunity to pause along with me.

With a smile that was secretly rehearsed. 

The entire time-

I am secretly waiting to return to my crevice. 

Where I can return

Premium MemberThings I Secretly Do To My Neighbor

I secretly do these things to my neighbor
make fun of her walk, her talk, her arrogant ways
draw her as a cartoon buffoon with a giant large ugly toothy mouth
paint her wearing gaudy neon colors that she would despise
wash her hairsprayed up hair in my toilet bowl in my mind’s eye
write her into poems that are

Premium MemberSh Life Is Around

Seesaws moving up and down
Slides sweeping down
Swings flying high
Laughters released
Thundering and echoing
Footsteps scattered
Trumpeting and vibrating
While many eyes observing and following
While many eyes hunting and fixing
Sh, life is around
And so a motherly love
Has secretly crawled in

I Am Secretly In Love With You

You're completely
a stranger;

but if you ask me
if I know
your whereabouts--
it's quite ironic
because
I'll gladly say yes,

I'll let you feel
my chest,
to braille your name
that is deeply engraved.

Premium MemberSecretly Watching Fairy Brigade

Fairy brigade stopped as queen tied her shoe.
In that one pause I knew what to do.
Hid inside a mushroom with dots of blue.
Magical moment of woodland voodoo.

Crow cawed loudly then away she flew.
Parade restarted, determined, anew.
Rainbow peeked out, sharing beautiful hue.
Reverence exuding from daisy pew.

Gorgeous day in the land of the dew.
I often wonder if

Premium MemberSecretly Scary

When life gets suddenly scary,
you search around for a safe place.
And try blocking reality:
with tricks of imagination.

Anxieties begin to climb:
when life gets suddenly scary.
And paranoia stalks your thoughts;
overshadowing happiness.

Ghosts of buried yesteryears haunt;
while memories morph into tears.
When life gets suddenly scary:
Love retreats into wishful dreams.

But dreams only come out at night:
for fantasies fade in sunlight.
And

Silently Secretly Sealed

Silently Secretly Sealed

If you could see inside a fruitful flower
You would see what’s inside my heart
For my love for you blossoms every hour
As it did from the very first sacrificial start

If you could take a look at celestial creation
You would explore my spiritual stable soul
A cosmic cathedral of justificative jubilation
As it is held captive within
