Secret Love

 

You're my twenty-four hour line.

You are always on my mind.

No matter how loud the music,

Whenever I sing,

Visions of you dance across the scene.

In that imaginary place over time and matter

Where everything else is not,

But freedom unfolds and reality is shattered.

The source from deep within where you reside

Pulls and pushes the sands of my tide.

Thought interrupted by the fantasy of you,

Out a smile and parted lips escapes a nostalgic ado.

A word, a voice, a face,

In the air, every moment, in every place,

In the night out of a dream awakened by your presence

That lingers to stimulate my every sense.

You're embedded deep my soul and will never be gone.

There, you are the music of all my song.

If you only knew

What would you do?
