Unknown Affair




Wallowing midnight moments,
adrift within windy words

unspoken;

 

to breast
I hold breath

enduring passion that
slipped through sighs;
unheard

spring bloomed
once again;
unseen

blinded by gates of pearl,
those glimmering plumes of denial
linger
in storm,
as this decree of destiny
imprints brow

consumed with this affliction
of whispered admiration,
I am indebted
to every sunrise
beckoning its colorful waves
of sensibility
to sense

an honorable rumination
that my heart
truly beats,

 

unnoticed~

    This is just beautiful! I felt a sadness lingering in the heart in this... for it to go unnoticed is so sad.

    Gorgeous write!
