A Concealed Secret Poem by Sthembiso jean culio Cele

Love,

You have none to give

I lay my eyes upon your face

You avoid my gaze,

As i should yours?

Lest suspicion be aroused

And oust our long concealed secret,

But should they not also be aroused

if two friends are no longer seen to speak?

I turn it from thought,

And vow to never give it voice

But my tongue bends to such deceit,

At the thought of you it proves troublesome

Perhaps, the memory will fade with time,

As do all things bourn of misfortune

.
