A Secret Place

Thank you 'The Little Prince' for the idea. I was reading it and this little composition popped into my head:


And then a drop will slide by,
Heading steadily away from the eye,
But with one swift motion your emotion you will spread,
Punishing it for the path it tred,
It gave you away, your courage is now shame,
But how much longer could your sentiment remain tame?

Your oculus - blood red you cannot conceal,
While the occasional glance you unstealthily steal,
With a smile on your face and a fire on the inside,
Desperately, carelessly looking for someplace to hide,
You let flow a stream, You pray nobody hears,
A secret place, The land of tears.
