my heart

is it fair to talk
to the shadow in my heart
and hope it will understand me
so many rules to govern love
yet, few do justice to the cause
but I still long for you
to cover me in darkness
to duplicate my moves
in the silence of secrecy
for, love is private
and individual in nature
it is never wrong to experience
the elation of emotion
overwhelming the host
if only in imagination
can I hold you
and sweep you softly
with the sound of my voice
sharing all I have kept inside
for a life time
I want to rest
in that film of night's cover
that outlines my desire
to serve our love
