Our Secret
Release me from my agony,
This sick swarm of blind buzzing bees,
Piercing cold as the stormy seas,
Voices, rumors, a vicious tease.
In seven sweet circles I dance,
Sends me into ravenous rants,
Lying lips, a tortuous trance,
Eyes like serpents with seering slants.
Our secret once more brought to light,
But we deny our love each night,
I always say, yet I'm contrite,
“d*mn them to Hell with all my might.”
Understand the touch of your hand,
Hurls me to a fairytale land,
Naïve it seems my mind expands,
Makes chaos of a world so bland.
In that dark encaved tomb of gloom,
We're trapped always under the moon,
Lack of air when you're in the room,
Praying this torment will end soon.
