Shhhhhhhhhhh! (For Laura) Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Shhhhhhhhhhh! (For Laura)

Rating: 5.0


Like a tree
hiding in a forest

like a leaf
hiding on a tree

like a river
hiding in an ocean

like a wave
hiding in a sea

I see you see
through me

and my carefully
camoflagued love.

Oh, the power to be a leaf hiding in a tree...you clever one...how your mind intrigues me...leading me ever onward....

Ah this is so sweetly and beautifuly done and such fun all at the same time. It does it indeed bequile but is totally without guile. A delight...a beautiful delight...like the answers to some old Norse riddlesa! A thing of beauty and... love GinaXXX
