There is a strange thought in me

That drifts carelessly within my heart.

It is unknown to me,

And yet it craves recognition.

It calls to me to hold it,

To grasp it, to understand it.

But how can I,

When words seem to hide

All that I want to say to you?

Perhaps I will go on my way As before,

No more the wiser for your company,

No more the warmer for your touch,

No more the safer for your love.

But why should I be so different

That I cannot hold your attention?

It is clear in my mind

Why one such as you can attract me;

For when I look deep into your eyes,

I see a heavy curtain gracefully drawn over

Your very soul,

And that makes me want to know more.

Like the silkiest Autumn mist,

There is a hidden desire that I cannot reach.

It is there,

I can see it!

But I cannot yet hold it;

It is there,

For I feel it's chill breath of excitement run

down my spine.

Perhaps I will go on my way

As before,

No more the wiser for your company,

No more the warmer for your touch,

No more the safer for your love......
