Secrets
I know where beauty's secrets lie.
We dance to whispers in her bed.
Dismiss, resist the fears that I
might be misled.
I know where beauty's secrets fly
with fairy wings around my head.
And in the sky, we wave goodbyes
like newlyweds.
I know why beauty's secrets cry.
She seals them up when she instead
should loose the thread that keeps them tied
to senseless dread.
And to her secrets I reply,
my heart has burst from what you've said.
The pieces rise like butterflies
that I have bled.
We dance to whispers in her bed.
Dismiss, resist the fears that I
might be misled.
I know where beauty's secrets fly
with fairy wings around my head.
And in the sky, we wave goodbyes
like newlyweds.
I know why beauty's secrets cry.
She seals them up when she instead
should loose the thread that keeps them tied
to senseless dread.
And to her secrets I reply,
my heart has burst from what you've said.
The pieces rise like butterflies
that I have bled.

What do you wanna know? You need but ask.

No worries you’ll get there Kitten :)
Please believe, I’ve been here 12 years but when I first came here not to put myself down, but, my stuff was like written by a kid. It was horrible. I learned a lot being on this site . There are some really good teachers here. I’ll tell you that right now. If I can offer one piece of advice, count your syllables when rhyming. That’s what was told to me, and it’s true It makes all the difference.

Not to intrude, but besides syllable count, alliteration helps too with flow and, at times, brings out important parts.
There, I'm done.

I appreciate the advice. Of course, these days, poets are not frequently into rhyme. I like it, though.
