Beautiful darling of my secret heart; <br />Secret of secrets, held apart- <br />Under lock and key, a whole world wrought: <br />Beautiful darling of my secret heart. <br /> <br />Beautiful darling of another place; <br />There’s secret longing in your silent face- <br />Half in hiding, like unfinished thought: <br />Beautiful darling of another place. <br /> <br />Beautiful giver of beautiful songs; <br />Songs sung in secret, all night long- <br />A candle'd altar, quiescent flame: <br />Beautiful darling- I can’t speak your name.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beautiful-darling-of-my-secret-heart/
