Secret Love

Secret Love

Like the noise that takes the prayers
up beyond these golden stairs.

Like the tread of loves desire
that burns silently inside like a fire.

like the silence of a child in sleep
without a sound its dreams it  keeps.

like the breath of a summer night
stirring softly sweet and light.

like the glance in a lovers eyes
filled with silent need and sighs.

Like the silent stillness of the lake
waiting for the dark to break.

is how I give myself to you
