Secrets I Don'T Tell Poem by Cat Tiger

Never seek to tell thy love
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.'
-William Blake

There are fears I don't admit
Not death nor terror itself
But silence refusing to quit
Or a trinket on the shelf.

These secrets I shouldn't tell
For sanity slips from such
And vulnerability's upward swell
Condemns my love too much.

Could you love a babe, my sweet
Whose been around too long
Who struggles to complete
A stale and orchestrated song?
