Blue Secrets Poem by Denise Landau

Blue Secrets

I searched the words of others
To give to you my heart,
Dream songs, although not empty,
Did not hold my hope, my thought.

Instead, they left me wandering,
The burden now I bear,
The blush of love has touched them,
Not the stone of love I share.

My love for you lies deep in,
A quiet, deepening well,
Springs inside a mountain rock
Where my deep blue secrets fell.

How pale is love’s first flower
Beside the ocean’s wave
Deepest, darkest feelings lie,
Blue, unchanged beside the grave.

My deep blue love for you.
