My Love

My Love
Is like a small glass bottle
Clutched close to my Heart
Filled with a brilliant Light.

And like a Genii's lamp
When the Right words are spoken,
Out come the Three great treasures
My Passion
My Desire
My Love

I keep it Corked tight
Afraid to loose it on the World.
I opened it Once
But the brilliant white Light
Seared my Heart
And I had to put it Away again.

And so I shove the Cork tighter
Though that makes the Light brighter.
I am afraid others will
See it
In my Face
Hear it
In my Voice

And Each day the Cork gets tighter

Will anyone ever see my Light?
Will anyone survive its searing Pain?
Will anyone ever be able
To pull out this Cork?

And day by day
The Cork gets tighter.
