You see things
way too far
sentiments that defy
journeys of the mind
wandering off the margins
of your realm.
The same way you indulge
in reflections
with blazing ardor.
What you may not know
is how your words bring me
to a place
I could bear to stay.
to a world where time
motions its hand
to a remotest space,
where a softening
of my dauntless mettle
rests in grace.
Some things in my heart
the mannered mind
won’t dare utter,
such as an affection
better not identified,
an endearment better –
and forever left unsaid.
