The Sweetest Secret
By La Belle Rouge

your love is the sweetest secret kept
pressed between the pages of my soul
like a vermillion rose pinned to a bodice
one long-ago night, its petals crushed
flat between your chest and my breasts
you still take away my breath even now
with the thought of kisses so seductive
my tongue tingles to taste your mouth
while my thoughts wing their way to you
once again...as they have so often done
my sad heart finds its comfort between
the warm sheets of your adoring words


do you find me there still, My Love
where we have frequently blended
our pounding hearts and crimson ink?
do you smile for me as I do for you?


sometimes it’s so gloomy, my only flame,
candles of your dark eyes mirroring pale
in the night where sighs ascend like music
and lovers wrap themselves in a blanket of
softly shimmering starlight and moondust
and hide themselves in a garden of delights
your love is my treasure, my heart’s muse
when all around me lay sorrow and despair
your love brings my forgotten beauty to life
a torch to fire the remains of my dried desire
electric dream to quicken the pulse of passion
your love, still the sweetest secret of my soul
