Secrets

by Ronald Edwards   Sep 9, 2010


Tell me a secret
that no one knows,
Ill tell you one of mine.

Share a deed
that has been hid,
a crossing of the line.

Dig down deep
Im sure theres one,
filed in your private Hell.

I keep mine buried
in my soul,
till He tolls the bell.

So you think youre special
or quite unique,
nothings new under the sun.

Actions, words
looks we hoped would kill,
or would have with a gun.

Do you remember when
out with your friends,
off came the wedding ring?

Or when in Vegas
you rolled the dice,
bud-da-boom then bud-da-bing.

Sharing my secrets
I must be ready,
entirely I now know.

When pain of holding onto them
exceeds my fear
of letting go.

    Hmm...A thought provoker in a sort of way. It is true though that we can not hold on to all the secrets that we have, because in the end we will try to keep them all inside and will not want to be very truthful with good friends or loved ones. A bit of sadness seemed to touch the lines in some parts which made the poem that much better. Good job and keep writing.
