Poem for the Day:

“behind closed doors”

you told me over the telephone

to keep this behind closed doors

I’m not even to hold your hand

even strolling the produce stands

must keep this love undercover

you’re too afraid of what others

may gossip and say behind our backs

but I’m not worry about that

so what? we are two of a kind

and at least in my own mind

you’re the one I want to spend

days traversing all over continents

painting the sky in vivid hues

can’t you see – I only want you

but you rather keep me in closets

that no one will ever bother

like winter blankets, worn and old

never used until you’re cold
