Locked love
The love in your heart wrapped carefully
Kept secure in layers of feigned indifference
Let the sun not shine on it nor the rain fall
Love it seems has to be locked as if in a bank vault.

From Thru my eyes
When my fingers tap dance on the computer keyboard the results are either some tongue in cheek humor, a verse, a short story, a rant or sometimes mere rambling prose that goes nowhere in particular.... You'll find them all. So go ahead, take your pick and be bored to death!!
Where they come from…
Liked this a lot. Very ghazal like.
Me: Thanks Rhett
I love ghazals

kept in layers of feigned indifference!! I like all your tiny poems, they say so much !! Just like 55 words fiction
Me: Thanks IHM!

Very interesting and well-written, HRP. It makes me think: why the necessity of “feigned indifference” for the love in our human hearts AND when and why do humans let the feigned indifference finally vanish?
Many emotions packed into a few words–BRAVO !
Me: I echo your thoughts word for word Bob.
And thanks for the encouraging words of appreciation.

Were you on a break, Shail?
Loved your poem as usual and as IHM said it is like a poetic 55-er.
Me: Not exactly a break Solilo, but visiting bro and sis and unable to get on the net often enough. Two more weeks to go before I return.
Thanks!! These are in contrast to the abundant words I use for my other posts!

This kind of love is hard to figure out. Some go years without letting on and sometimes a lifetime is wasted(or NOT).
Me: You can say that again about ‘wasted time’!

Reminds me of heroes of yester-years…the snehamulla simham types…tough on the outside, soft inside, like a chakka
Me: Lol Ganga, Simham and chakka. Loved both!

There are many reasons for the heart to hide
and mainly it is the fear of being taken for a ride;
and for a moment don’t think i’m being snide
for I’ve seen a lot of people who’ve lied.
