Secret

Secret

Me:

The moon lies beautiful

half veiled behind the clouds

it dares not shine as a whole

muted in its lair

You:

The quiet forbidden love,

nestled in the shadow of tomorrow

Waits patient to be born Brittle,

but not yet broken

Both struggle for their moment in the light

this is a very interesting poem , .....my interpretation was a secret love affair hidden in shadow of night.......interesting juxtaposition of light and dark suggests to me 1). the anticipation of posessing the beauty in full light ( love ).........and 2 ). the idea of light overpowering and revealing the shadowed secret........but would love to learn more about this poem........it has interesting form love the line.....

nestled in the shadow of tomorrow

which could have multiple meanings
