thoughts are concealed
no one can hear them
you are a hidden conundrum
your thought process make you the Invisible Man

maybe

if thoughts are hid
is it because you are mistrustful of others
or, maybe, you fear ridicule
if you put your thoughts into words

or . . .

maybe what you hide away
is something personal
something very personal

then again
maybe your emotions are so passionate
they might be best described as
lust

inside yourself you have an advantage
you have such beauty
a glowing feeling
you're afraid to show it to the world
fearing you would be made fun of

so you have unutterable emotions
your alpha heart
relentlessly pummeling
inside your chest
uncontrolled . . . bold
the thing is
your unbridled, but concealed infatuation
shows in your eyes
your internal radiance is apparent
to anyone who chances a look

your eyes displays the glow
your heart cannot be so easily hidden

Thank you, Gale. I'm happy to see that you didn't take our disagreement any further.

No, Jerry, if you said about that I didn't post on the forum last two days, it's not because of any disagreement. I was busy a little, trying to record my first English vocal ))). And yesterday was my mother's birthday, so I was in hurry.
I hope you won't take my opinions very much to heart, I didn't intent to teach anybody. I'm not proud, and it's just my thoughts which I can't prove.  Anyone on the Earth has a right to make mistakes him/herself, and I can't say, who is more wrong, until time comes. Or maybe, as Krawdad said, we both are right in some sense )

I read this the other day and didn't have time to comment...I thought it deserved more than a "I liked it " comment. Your train of thought covers so much...each stanza could stand alone. As I have said many times before, it is a pleasure to join you on your train of thought.
