Secret Passions....

I discover a newness about you each day, bringing me immense pleasure
Like a child unwrapping a gift, eyes lit with eagerness at some new treasure

Turbulent wars rage through my mind
With all this unrequited thoughts I find

Each and every one of your triumphs lifts my mood
Secret smile plays my mind’s lips like a shrouded hood

Unspoken whispers and confessions of love muttered
Untouched kisses and caresses make my heart fluttered

As you stand there utterly oblivious

Death might loom before I let slip my feelings for you
And even then I shall defy and hold onto this secret passion that you stir in me
