Knotted chains of words jiggled in my heart
The words I repeat in effusive soliloquies
Bathed in the resplendent fragrance of love
They pleaded and yearned to be free
.
Effervescent tenderness streamed silently
His nearness muted all other leanings
I inspected with a meditative ardor
The mysteries of his inscrutable temper
.
Incandescent pearls gleamed on his countenance
His eyes mesmerised, a hypnosis set in
With each stolen glance, the magic deepened
Null and void lay my promise to self
.
And yet again, I tamed my fiery love
Shielded intently the sacred secret
Buried the mound of passion in silence
Untold wistful words lamented, yet again
.
Yet again, I unfasten them on your pages
Wounded, quivering words, find a release
Privy to my fettered thoughts and emotions
Dear diary, I treasure your calming presence
.
Just as I smile, scripting notes of freedom
Pangs of love return with a new zeal
Words doused in anguish, bereft of refuge
Find shelter, yet again, in your kind pages.
