Secret Smile

Secret Smile

The secret smile envelopes me in a way that no other can, it's like a private code
That we share as we glance awkwardly at each other. I knew nothing of this woman
And yet there was something inside that made all the connections, Circuits
Connected and that electric knowing stream flowed with fervour inside.

It started as a game for me, not expecting it to become real; you see I was trapped,
Like some beast inside the cage that was my circumstances, and like a captive
Animal I had given up hope and each day was just a senile trip into the next.
Her visits were what began to rouse me form that submissive, accepting state

And stirred within me a new hope, I dared to believe that I was worth more.
I looked forward, like an excited child to each new visit and became bitterly
Disappointed when a day passed without a glimpse of those lips
That had begun to find their way into my dreams each night, I kept the secret.

I worked alongside my trapper, who had begun to wear me down with disappointment and sadness and I inwardly gloated as our encounters became
More frequent; and filled with a sense of upcoming release from captivity.
Each day that passed made me sure that this was not just my fantasy world taking

Over, it was real and each gaze told me that you loved me and that I to shared
Those unsaid sentiments; that danced in each others eyes. You see I knew then
That I loved you too and I savoured every second that I could as I summoned
The strength to overpower my jailer and become free to be consumed by that
Secret Smile.
