Secret Desire

A cycle of poems «Status praesens communis»

In the depths of my heart, a longing concealed,
A secret desire, a flame that's concealed.
I hide it well, beneath a mask of calm,
But deep inside, it's a raging storm.

Oh, secret desire, burning bright,
A tantalizing whisper in the night.
I yearn for you, with every fiber of my being,
Yet I fear to let it show, my heart still clinging.

It's a forbidden fruit, a dangerous game,
Society's judgment, I cannot claim.
But oh, how I crave your touch, your sweet embrace,
To feel your presence, in this secluded space.

Oh, secret desire, burning bright,
A tantalizing whisper in the night.
I yearn for you, with every fiber of my being,
Yet I fear to let it show, my heart still clinging.

In the shadows of my dreams, we meet,
Where our passion knows no bounds, no defeat.
I lose myself in your loving embrace,
A moment's bliss, before the break of day's chase.

But when the sun rises, I must pretend,
That our love is naught but a dream I send.
I carry the secret, heavy in my heart,
Yearning for the day we can finally start.

Oh, secret desire, burning bright,
A tantalizing whisper in the night.
I yearn for you, with every fiber of my being,
Yet I fear to let it show, my heart still clinging.

Until then, I'll keep my secret safe,
In the depths of my soul, where it's most brave.
And hope that someday, when the stars align,
Our secret desire can finally shine.
