in the still of the night: within

the secret
the greatest love of all
never resided in a man
or his penis
or the way you can manuever around his
landscape
the secret
was never with out
always with in
deeply kept & hidden
beneath a charade of normalacy

stir me with your words
rise me above my comfort zone
take me out of my position
you can't

the secret
the greatest love all
never resided in the attention of any man
lies in the heart guided by these hands
the secret
lies within
look me in my eyes
find me and sink into my presence
feel the way he feels me
smile the way he smiles me
see the way he sees me

you won't see
the secret
the greatest love all
never resided in his love
always lived within me
the secret to why i is me
resides in what you can't see
it's an optical 3D illusion
keep me at arms length
stare until you can't see what lies before you
you still won't get it

it can't be bought
cultivated over the years
can't be stolen
like my smile and the curve of these eyes
it's encoded in
bet your still lookin

but the secret lies within
the greatest love the greatest sin
love yourself first
love your god
then you can love them

within...
