I Secretly Bestow

I Secretly Bestow

By
Dairesse L. English


There are moments when time slows
and the winds of a summer heat pass
over me like a season. There are
moments when just a glance upon you
steals all wisdom, thought, and reason.

When you walk near me, the air you
stir brushes against my skin and I
notice every gesture, every blink of
your eye. You carry yourself strong
and proud luring young flatteries close,
for I am not the only one who longs for
an adoring reply.

Your large eyes offer light where there
are shadows and rain taps on windows.
Your consideration is a comfort when
there is loneliness and a cold wind blows.

Wrapping within your laugh and smile I
feel nothing except bless followed by the
absence of fulfillment. Bathing in the
dreams of you, sooths wishful thinking
but leaves behind the imprint of
forbearing contentment.

Standing here without the candlelight to
set before you my affection in a depicting
glow, I will whisper sweet sentiments and
all of my love to you I secretly bestow.
