Description
Impetuous courage! To deliever poetry
to the man who holds my affection.
(Love is wiser than I, and older
so you hold the seed and not the flower)

I pray this pleases you
the offering of secret places
hitherto guarded and hidden

Will I be unmasked?
Ignorant I am of my own intentions
The answer lurks in the future

Even as I adore the smile
delievered by plain paper and ink
My heart trembles to be discovered
Laid bare to your possible rejection

For if you have not noticed me
(as a woman, not only a person)
prior to the enticing written words,
What hope have I
When the masquerade ends?

With paper mask and paper shield
my identity is not revealed
My words of affection have been spoken
and my heart remains yet unbroken
