Kept In Hiding

The clouds cape sunset in mysterious color schemes
Cooling comes with the winds, drink for the delicate grass
Settled down among them, I too am watered

The vernacular of nature’s cues, and coos
Billow forth without resentment or ferocity
Miming the feelings that float inside this weather worn purse

Where I collect and store safely the parts I left out
Letting them grow and deepen, ripening to sweetness
Too, are thirsty for a taste of rain, relishing the same

Each, donned candy stripe, to melt upon the tongue
How could I tell you, you have been the only one?
Or all I want, especially in views of orchid June

Or the white dress that hung in my cedar mind
It never seemed to be a conversation had in time
But when we spoke, I held the reign’s emotions choke

Although you knew that I loved only you

Beautiful...the language you used gave the poem a gorgeous kind of delicacy.

Where black, bleeding roses await the Thirteen,
I see not the stars, but the darkness between

Lovely TD.

I love this gem:

"Or the white dress that hung in my cedar mind"
