A Secret



In whispers it is talked about
Intentionally so

Oft the hiding is not to hurt
Oft it is the contrary

Then, a secret is shared
You are suddenly closer

There's nothing like openness
A feeling of welcome

A surge of fresh, pure spirit
Clean as the back of a pristine white swan

No hushed tones, no planned conversations
R.I.P - A secret



Happy Birthday Sampy, my always-to-be naughty but bestest little monster.


Today I'm humming: Why by Anthony Newley

  1. Lovely thoughts conveyed in your poem. One of my friends called me "Little Monster," in college days!
