The note I slipped beneath your door
I camouflaged to look like the floor
To write I used invisible ink
For I was afraid that you would think
The worse of me
The curse of me.

The words I feel are between the lines
Your decoder ring will work just fine
So put it on and you will see
Just how much you mean to me
The pain inside
Will not subside

If I don't hear then I will leave
I feel as if I am bereaved
For friendship is a precious thing
Don't fly it on transparent wing
So far away
For e're a day

Why do we hide who we are because we fear what others will think?  I'm a firm believer in - take me as I am or take a hike.
I did like this, however I'm not sure I read it as you meant it.

Twin,

This is truly good and I enjoyed it.  Don't be afraid to let others know your true feelings because sometimes it becomes too late and we have lost out on the opportunity to express to those we care about.

Amazing how many of us poets have such a difficult time expressing our feelings...until we have a pen in our hand. Well done!

I've tried and tried your note to heed,
but the invisible ink I just can't read.

The ring you speak of doesn't work for me;
my tear-filled eyes impede its use you see.

---Very nicely written twinsgd; you have a flair for poetry.

This Poem is great.
Somtimes things are better said with a veil.
As long as you know it's there.

For friendship is a precious thing
Don't fly it on transparent wing

Is the crux of the whole poem. In it I read a fear of rriendship lost should the "romantic" feelings be revealed. Perhaps I too am reading it other than intended, but I think works quite well to this interpretation.

Twin, this has got to be the best of yours so far...of course, your others are all great too!   Beautiful job with this poem! I can see a lot of deeper meaning behind the words, and it's hard for me to write stuff like that. Again, great job!
