PAD 2018 - 1 ... Trying again. Last time I made it to ....1

For today’s prompt, write a secret poem. This poem can reveal a secret, incorporate a secret activity, or involve any other secret interpretation. Poem written in code (acrostic, anyone?) or with double meanings.



It is tempting to think
someone will find your words,
will have fallen in love with your spirit, 
your soul,
will want to know the essential you of you
wordless self
bodiless self
mindful self

will not be looking
only for some proof that you 
would love yourself 
with the image of their eyes behind your eyes
- I can see you -
the vowels of their name
escaping on that high breath

but they will love both parts of your beautiful brain
will know you

will know that
you know
that they know you, somehow,

touching you, like light on moss,
that that is all the love there will be there
so it has to be enough
as day turns very slowly
to night
