Your Love Casts Shadows

You are my mellifluous love
tucked away safe
indoors;
behind a closed door, a low golden glow
glitters from candlelight
and twinkles from the corners
of your closeted eyes. I wonder
what secrets lurk there when
I listen to our whispered laughter
bounce off your bare apartment walls

I want to swallow the uncertainty
lingering on the edge of 

my tongue, when I think of you
not trusting me
