Am I... ©Molli Paige













How do I...
Where do I begin

Am I
Your sweet mocha chocolate
Kept secret
In a guarded place

No one else sees
No one else knows
About me...only you...when you feel free

Am I
Your sentiment, your refrain
Kept hidden
Cloaked, concealed
So it may not reveal
That I
May
Yet be
the iron gate, still attached
To the brick wall of your soul
Rusted, but not disconnected

You stand,
With your hands
Frozen, in time

On the outside, you mask
You make-believe
keeping the panoptic view
As a deceptive quandary
For those closest to you

Am I
Your
Stolen, last bit of frosting
On your fingertip
You don't let go...to waste

In fact,
With no eyes watching
You steal away and dip again
...Am I...
...Your enigma...
