The Love I Dare not Confess!
So I sat and watched
Whilst you danced and laughed and ran around
All errorless and scintillating, my heart leapt.
Your short poise almost half my height and a shapely smile
And all I could need is to see you eloquently speak and gesture.
And I wish for it to never end;
My desire to never leave your side and your wish for a better man
For the many times I have lived and loved
Only you are worth being good for.
Your tender eyes and daring thoughts
And my love is too much, it embarrasses you
Song, poem and blood
Babies and books
Dare not see me watch you all day and wonder,
What have I, that his eyes gaze upon.
Last I saw you, then I knew
You might be too perfect for me
Yet still I desire, in your arms to be held fair
To die while yet in your love I am drowned
But dare I not profess my love to you
For I worry, what you might think.
Let me then, love you from afar
And kiss you in my dreams
For there, I am the master.
I dare not look at thine own face
Yet in every place and deed your memory I leave.
So I think, for you
My life I would give,
As in the course of my life, never have I met
A soul so pure and innocent
But still, this riddle I can’t solve
Nature could not prove
And this, was nothing, but secret love.
