In a flicker of lights

steal away my bright life;

linger for a whisper

but stay beyond the night.

 

I'd take you to the bays,

the stars, the city craze;

so in the shine I'll see

your halo of sun-rays.

 

There is no time; this one

day love would be no fun;

I hurt so much inside,

so with you I will run.

 

But don't take this all wrong;

this is not your love song;

I don't like you, so I

won't be around for long.

 

My guilt overtakes me

like my philosophy;

this secret is just mine,

for his love I foresee.


The author's comments:

It's been a hot minute since I wrote any poems, because I've been turning more attention to fiction. However, for now I decided to jot down another ekphrastic poem I've been meaning to write; this one is about "Secrets" by The Weeknd, as it has instrumentals that paint an interesting visual in my head, and I tried to follow it. For once, this poem is about someone I haven't written about before (kind of). It addresses one person while talking about another. So, I advise readers to listen to the song and come up with their own visuals. Have fun!
