Nobody else can ever know
All the secrets
Life bestows.
But when we’re gone
No longer here
Those secrets have a life
They ever flow.

I Live
July 27, 2021
You don’t know how I live
You don’t know
what makes me tick
all is hidden deep
beneath the facade
I keep.
Private, personal that’s where
I live
hoping fervently
you don’t peek beneath
my closed lid.
Which slams shut
whenever
I think someone’s too close
to see my flaws
secrets I keep, hide
I live.

Let Me Write Something Smart And Clever
November 5, 2018
Let me write
Something smart and clever
Telling the world
Secrets they didn’t know.
Pour my thoughts out
Convey all the things
I understand
And now know.
Hope they show
Compassion, loving kindness
And a knowledge given me
That til then I didn’t know.

May My Soul Find The Secrets
March 17, 2017
May my soul find the secrets
Hidden deep in my heart
May the pleasure never
Ever, ever depart.
May I find justice
For the things unfairly done
And may the sun shine
On all those I love
Each and everyone.
May I find the strength
To stand up straight
And not waiver
In the thoughts
That can make me see
Greatness
Greatness in all of thee.
Yes
May my soul believe
And see
All that is wondrous
In this secret place
Called me.

Enclosed In The Box
February 17, 2012Enclosed in the box
Our secrets, our lives
Hidden from all
For we must despise.
Why is this? Why do we do
The things that hurt us
In this life too?
Sadness prevails taking its toll
On our hearts and our minds
Two fold I’m told.
Out of the box
Let lives be disclosed
As a great love of life
In this to be told.
No shrinking from any
Fess up and be
The true self person
You desperately can be.
