To Wordlessly Contain 

For you, my lady,

the love I feel too much to

wordlessly contain within my mind,

to wordlessly contain within my heart.

None but you and I know of a love

hidden deeply within our hearts,

of a love hidden deeply within

the shadowy places of our lives.

None but you and I know of

the soulful place of our love.

Sadly,

we both know our love

can never go forward.

Sadly,

we both know our love can never,

nor will ever see the light of day:

to walk together the grassy field;

to sleep together within the sphere

of our combined warmth;

to sleep within the range

of the sounds of the sleeping

breath of one-another.

For you, my lady,

The love I feel too much to

wordlessly contain.
