Time and place
arranged just far
enough from home to be
discreet
and close enough to be
comfortable
Two friends
linked by email
tentatively seeking
a bond
a feeling of familiarity
in shared experience
He holds her hand
looks into her eyes
lies
Two strangers
homeward bound
he laughing at her naivete
she crying at her foolish dreams
never again
always a cygnet
never a lover
barely a friend

I have been reading your poetry and I have found that I can relate to a lot of it. the emotions, the pain and the situations, some anyway are ones that I've been through myself. I always used to say that I never wanted to be anyone's secret. words that's what they used to be running through my head, but they were there for a reason. It was how I felt, but was always afraid to voice it.
