my secret love..

my love for you is like that song

that flows through me

but is not inked on that 

sheet of paper 

that forms a part of a book,

it is like that soap wrapper

that i hide within the pages

unseen yet so fragrant

the dark piece of chocolate

that i savour 

in the dark hours of a moonlit night

bitter yet sweet on the tongue

the flavonoids

and theobromine 

curing and soothingmy broken heart 

unseen yet still living

within me

just like the water

that vanishes near the roots

yet flows through the tree

keeping it alive

and that small dark corner

in the well lighted room

where i cancurl up

and live with your love

like the secret embedded

deep down in my story

naked and open

yet in oblivion
