Secret Admirer
By Daquan Johnson


Queen

You know you deserve the finer things

In life

But you’ll never give me a chance

So I just stand idly by

Contemplating ways

That I can get your attention

Scorn by a lovers past and scarlet winds

Wishing I can search within your heart

To repair

The broken menagerie that is your love

To allow you to see

That happiness is something you can find

When you let your guard down

You telling the world that you’re free

But I can see your invisible wall

So I just stand aside

And watch you walk by

Because I can see beyond the surface of your eyes

And though that you shield called pride

But for now, I’ll let destiny decide

Whether we’re meant to be

Because regardless of what I do

Only the man above can see you thru

But Still… You are the one I desire

Truly yours my secret admirer.

My name is Daquan Johnson I’m a poet from Washington DC . I was raised in a low income neighborhood but that doesn't define me or my craft. My poetry is a realistic perspective of society as I see it as a 22 year old black man. I like to rhyme in my poetry in order to convey my message to the ordinary listeners and as a tribute to the poets of yesterday. In all I feel that you will be pleasantly surprised by the perspective that I put in every poem
