Dark Places
My love for you lurks
in all the dark places.
Making sure it
leaves no traces;
for others to see
what you mean to me.
Never to see the
light of day,
in the shadows
It must stay.
No light needed
for this love to grow,
just the hidden
attention you show.
It is noticed by a few,
but they do not believe
It is true.
I marvel at what
they cannot see,
when it is so
plain to me.
So it stays in all
the dark places;
sometimes shows itself
on our faces.
I will keep it there,
hidden somewhere;
between the dark
and the light.
Who knows...
maybe someday..
might.
Cast its own
shadow
in the light.
in all the dark places.

The rich contrast of light and dark is heart-achingly effective dear Keith..
as most define the good vs bad but you show the lovely beauty and emotion that
must be kept in darkness yet it is *clear it shines pure and brightly inside you..
"No light needed
for this love to grow,"
~the depths of this.. just supreme misters.. *swoon forthcoming ;)
the sharp ache accompanying this depth has me sending hugs..
"So it stays in all
the dark places;
sometimes shows itself
on our faces. "
~portrays the overwhelming glow that leaks from heart to blushing smile..fave!
I send wishes everyday for your loves to reign free in the light, as the full yearn,
and acceptance are in amazing pour here. take care m'dears, ever enjoy your thoughts!

Love is crazy and weird and awesome and crappy and piss me off and yet I crave it every day! Even if it lurks in my shadows as well. Nicely done. <3

It is the truth in your heart. But also like a wish made upon a falling star. Sometimes it feels good to have something to ourselves, the feeling of growing love, not to be revealed..yet. I found my own truth in this, thank you for sharing. Happy Morning!

Thank you much and a good day to you; love. For me this poem is a way to bring to light; this thing that is kept in the dark, a secret that I know can never be revealed. It is a way to shout it out.
Thanks
Keith

Ok, my recent past has jaded me to topics like this I know, but oh I don't like being kept in the dark in that. Always a reason, and usually never good, for it. Sighs. Love the write, and could definitely feel not only the yearn for your lover, but the desire to let the truth of it burn brightly before all...which is how it should, in my opinion. And why I rummage in ashes too I suppose. Lol. Apologize if how I read this was self projection, Keith... Touched a spot inside me, but the emotion of the piece reads pure. Nicely written.

Michael I felt that would be the way you would feel about the subject. It is a very tricky game to play especially if it is more of a game to one person. It really goes south when one person decides that they no longer want to play second fiddle. I think that we all project our own circumstances and experiences when we are moved by
a piece. I think that is why we share.

Nicely written I can picture all this tacking place perfectly in my head. I love the poem but I could never be in a relationship like it.

I am glad that it painted a perfect picture in your head DP. This type of relationship is not for everyone. There are the constant coverups and one must face the reality that it could end at any moment. I appreciate you leaving such a thought filled comment.
Thanks

Shauna, so correct about the pull.
I am not sure exactly what it is,
but I've heard it said it is better when you sneak. I think for some it is the
ability to be in love without the commitment. Hell, I really don't know.
So glad you stopped by
Sweetheart
