A Secret in Itself
A poem's secret language
in itself is that.
A secret language
we all long to understand,
to see the beautiful similies
as they unravel like a present on christmas morning.
We long to hear the metaphors
as they sing their radient sonnets.
But what we wish to see the most
is the understanding in our eyes,
as the magic word hits
and the secret language
is no longer that.
The poem opens itself
and out comes the stores
in the once secret language.
