cloak of desire

each day I sit here
I watch
my hat tipped
my eyes guarded
my lips twitching
unseen

each day I sit here
I dream
my heart racing
my head awash
with wild thoughts
untamed

each day I sit here
I yearn
my love real
my desire true
my passion hot
within my loins
unfulfilled

each day I sit here
loving you
from a distance
hidden behind
this cloak of
desire
unrepentant
