I'll Share My Secrets
sure I have secrets
if you listen and look
close enough
they will appear in your thoughts
unless you vaporize
them with your foggy breath
or misplace yourself
in their charisma
as I search
for parted lips on bright red roses
aided by the moon’s presence
ahhh . . .
the secret then has dissolved
so . . .
the best way to find out secrets
is to never ask

Many thanks going out to you, Overly! I appreciate you kind review very much.

If you have to ask, you're not invested enough to make the effort of discovery. The mystery of unravelling...or not knowing it all...is the beauty of it. Beautifully written! :)

How very right you are, Willow, concerning the philosophy of sitting back and allowing a person to show his secrets by acting them out. Thank you.

Jerry, my profound apologies for the delay in coming here. I truly lost out on not discovering this gem earlier. Went straight to my reading list.
Quoted lines blew my mind away in awe... read them again and again. You're onto some pure gem here Sir! Simply left me in awe- no flattery-just statement of how I felt my friend! Thank You!!

Oh, I am just very happy you are here now, KDAmB. I so understand how one can become "lost" and miss certain poem, I know it has happened to me. Your comments have touched me sincerely, and I thank you so much for them.
