Conundrum
Enciphered heart, yet unread –
Hope, a promise yet unsaid –
Us, a race that’s yet to run –
Her, a puzzle yet undone –
She’s a thought I can’t pin down,
Not adjective, verb or noun.
Her enigma vexes me –
No solution can I see.
She’s a riddle yet to solve
Round whom all my thoughts revolve.
I decode her text? Not yet.
I’ve still not that challenge met.
I unlock her secrets will,
Though their key eludes me still.
Open she’ll her heart to me…
Just give me eternity.
