Invisible Thread: Incognito, Part IV
By Peter Scott
Your gaze was steady
One I shall not forget
Only were you aware
With consistency I returned the favor
Watched you early on in life
Fantasized a friendship
A courtship
And these words you shall never read
The conversations we both lusted to share
Were withheld in our shyness
If I was a stronger man
Would you write in my book of love?
Were I a bolder man
The page of your existence would rest
In my heart
Not in my lust.
