You from the "Donsongs: An Anthology of Literary Sound by D. Maurice Waddell

Nobody knows that I fall asleep thinking of you 

Nobody knows how much I desire you  

Or if I had my way  

We would be on public display 

And as we made love in front of everyone  

People would view it as a beautiful scene 

Nothing obscene 

But a true sense of the Creator’s vision of how it is meant to be 

A beautiful natural occurrence of the order of things, 

But yet….Nobody knows when I’m close to you I have to remind my heart to beat 

And repeat because you’re holding it in your hand 

Nobody knows that my heart belongs to you 

Nobody knows how much I look at your pictures everyday 

You appear to me as a fairy tale  

Waiting and anticipating happily ever after 

Feeling your love, enjoying your laughter 

Nobody knows how much I’d be willing to surrender to you 

Nobody will ever know what I will show you if I ever enter you 

Is it the Creator’s way of saying that this desire is not permitted? 

Like David and Bathsheba? Or Like Water for Chocolate? 

That you would become the Goddess I would worship? 

Or jealous of the intensity which was put in me? 

Nobody knows that I could write for a thousand lifetimes  

And wouldn’t be able to explain what I feel for you 

Nobody knows that I know you more than you know 

And yet despite all…..In a heartbeat will give my love freely to you….
