Takis Chronopoulos "Soft as a secret"

''Soft as a secret'' - Takis Chronopoulos ©

You slip into my thoughts and rearrange the light,
turning an ordinary moment into something almost indecently beautiful.
Suddenly, the world has a different rhythm,
even silence seems to know something
about your scentful breeze drifted through

A precious gardenia unfolding with exquisite restraint,
soft as a secret, impossible to mistake for another flower.
You make my thoughts linger where words fall short,
until desire feels less like temptation than a form of recognition.

I want to meet you where thought becomes sensation,
where a glance lingers longer than propriety allows,
the mind undresses first, soul follows without fear,
body discovers what the heart has known all along.

If you ever wonder how deeply you have entered me,
it's a thought I never wish to finish,
the quiet fever beneath my skin,
tenderness behind my boldness.
Somewhere inside me, a flower opens,
slowly, secretly, she blooms
