Hidden Love

Like Flickering Shadows
on a candle ride

this love is a feeling
I hold on to inside

rare are the moments
it will rise to show

an interest in people
surface with a glow

strange are the reasons
when it does come out

to mingle so mindless
parting lips that pout

clearied are the fears
 in dreams spred fog

that gathered in bunches
like a pack of wild dogs

held dark in memories
these occasions play more

a constant reminder
when a heart tries to store

lost in loves gentle ways
with pursuing past cliches
