Mona L

You hide your fears

behind your smiles

and turn cold

to keep from burning.

And you say that you need

neither covers nor names.

But you're a woman.

Your body's your weakness.

It spells out your secrets

and gives away your game.

I can see without your showing

and hear without your saying

that you're screaming to be seen.

Aching to be taken

and bursting to be burst.

Tearing to be torn

and burning to be burnt

with love and desire.

I wear masks

to conceal my emotions,

and play tough

because I've been broken.

And I lie when I say

that I give not a damn

about sympathy or fame.

I'm a man.

My body is my weakness.

It projects out my secrets,

and gives away my game.

I'm growing to reach you

and jetting out to meet you.

I'm bursting to take you,

and burning to burn you.

My mirror

Knows not my secret that

I'm dying to melt,

cover you with love

and name you:

Desire.
