Hiding your passion
You think you are clever
In fooling everyone
But not me.
Those tensed lines on your forehead
And the mindless scratching of your brows
Recite a different tale.
You roll your head
You flicker your eyes
Becoming bigger when you get astonished
I gaze at you
While you look the other way
Admiring your beauty
When you are least aware
Afraid I become when you peer into my eyes
And can gauge my world
Which resides in your heart
You know not about this secret admirer
Who waits to see your raucous laughter
Your infectious positivity baffles my inner demons
Letting me believe in life again
But another maiden waits for me back home
I love her but I am falling for you
For how long can I pretend?
This mind is with her but heart
Oh my dear wild heart…
It is slowly drifting towards you
