Fortune Cookie

What I would give
for just one peek
A hint of truth
for which I seek

Just 5 minutes
of free-for-all
No lock, closed door
No unfair call

To see what’s behind
those dancing eyes
What you mean to say
but instead disguise

To see the ticker
across your head
proclaiming truth
you haven’t said

Your feelings shown
without a mask
My unmatched dream
forbidden task

To feel your heart
within my hand
Instead of mine
beached on the sand

I need to know
the thoughts of true
your motive here
if you are you

And if you are
what you say
Is it me
you want to stay?

Because I am here
and plan to be
but my loyal heart
beats fragility

And the curse
that’s haunting me
Does not stem
from insecurity

It is not a fear
of infidelity
or question of
feelings for me

No it is such tears
that come to be
by the simple fear
of uncertainty

And while I joke
of mystery
and your
captivating abilities

I also ache
with the unknown
vulnerable
my heart on loan

But that’s a lie
I know you see
somewhere stolen
entirely

No game of wit
risks of more
then that of heart
against closed door

So until the day
Your mind will speak
and questions subside
and peace will peak

I will remain
ever curious
and you my love
wonderfully mysterious
