a picturesque thought

there is something goddesslike
in the way that your gaze falls
from behind the lowered curtains,
in the way how I always find it
in a room full of different gazes.
there’s something exhilarating
in the way that my heart was destined
to crave for your presence only,
for the art of holding secrets.
there will always be room for desiring
something forbidden,
something forgotten.
yet I’ve been promising to explore you,
trying to clarify you,
you always stay terra incognita —
the landscape where sun goes down,
the place where it feels its belonging.
