Enjoy another of my poems. This one is McSheppy!

Not Mine, I swear.

Love With Words…

I could never say I love you

We could never touch

Not without fear

Without giving up too much

I'm not strong enough to speak

Not weak enough to fall

Into your open arms

For fear I'd lose it all

We can not be together

We can't lie side by side

To think of what would happen

Should someone happen by

I can't love you in public

And secrets I can't keep

But know you are my only one

If only in my sleep

I wish that I was stronger

I yearn to be your one

Atlantis fuels my hunger

As I look upon the sun

It sets with divine beauty

The same that fires your eyes

I wonder if you realize

I map you in the skies

I trace each tender word

Repeating in my mind

Each syllable you speak

Like a treasured find

My mind has lost its innocence

With each exchange of lips

If only we were more than words

You'd have me in your grip

I know I cannot save you

Though timeless, you've saved me

And wordless though my love speaks

Words are all that we can be.
