PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Secretly,

     Deep inside of me…

          Where I try so hard to keep things hidden

          To somehow keep myself in check

          To keep my emotions contained…

I light up,

     Every time you smile at me

No sound accompanies it

     The spoken word isn’t needed

Your face…

Your energy…

     Noticeably soften

          Your eyes gently sparkle

          And I can feel your joy,

          Delight,

          And wonderment

But just like you…

     Doubt, disbelief, fear…

          All struggle to rule my world.

Sometimes they win

Sometimes I let them win

Will choices be made

     Allowing this darkness to win

     To rule

          Or will light and peace

          And the eternal hope for true happiness

          Find their way to the front?

Who will win the throne?

     To rule the kingdom

          Of a king and his queen

          Of an ordinary man

          And an ordinary woman

          Joined together in simple fluidity and

          Intense intimate pleasures

And the ordinary woman

     Smiles…

          At her king on his throne…
