Secret Dreams

Secret Dreams

With words I show the world outside
Who resides beneath my skin
Revealed in multi-faceted lights
The diamond glitters within

The ever changing wind does blow
my soul never stops its sway
The language of love, of hate, of joy
With tears of sorrow play

And deeper still, beyond the walls
Of my inner protector’s lair
Lives the child of broken dreams
With hopes in ill repair

And yet…

blooming in my heart’s meadow
Amidst the trampled roses
Stands a lonely yellow daisy
On which no one imposes

And there upon its petals
Are written all my secret dreams
Velvet whispers of tomorrow
And all its wishful schemes
