Secrets Poems
108. Fading
by Kea Campbell
I chauffeur my silhouette as it seeps from the concrete beneath my feet.
Emotions flux like water and ride up my veins, diluting my sturdiness with self-deceit.
Tears lace over my pillow and bathe my subconscious with rosewater dreams.
Reminders dress up my skin as white blushes into red velvet-colored sheets.
My tongue runs wild on the lengthiest lead, but I hold and I bite on personal business we speak.
Words bloom bitter behind my teeth as thoughts decay gently beside your secrets I never leaked.
Tell me what you please and I'll keep, confidential, everything you fancy.

After the Epic (WIP)
by Eabha MacDhughaill
my Son saved my life,
but I’m not sure it was worth saving.
I endured what others say is Unimaginable…
what would kill men
stronger and faster and smarter…
I survived alone
He came, that Light within me, and I escaped… Saving his life was saving my own

Treasure Hunt - 1st Clue
by Yen Jua
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P
Q, R, S, T, U, V
W, X, Y, and Z.
These letters are the clue of my treasure.
Either you seek it all alone, or do it together,
I don't really care,
As long as you give it to my heir.
And the person I'm talking about,
Is one of you, no doubt.

Secrets
by Marie sponte
There are secrets
Secrets I have held in my heart
They act as demons
Constantly tearing me apart
Without a warning
They pile up
More thoughts are forming
They overflow my cup

revelatory
by Rikske Kessner
Secrets are secret
Truth cannot expound
Everything is vanity
No comfort to be found
Truth is relative
or so it is, they say
Life for us is short
no time to dry the hay

Phoenician Sands
by Darris van-Hoxen
Do you feel what I feel .
It may be close
similar
but impossible
to look into the
dead poets of
centuries' passing
time included was
claimed
an alphabet

Reverie
by Aditi Hayaran
No one can actually hear the whispers
that echo through the room.
They would understand only if they listened to the reverie you share with the moon.

Oh, star – brightest star –
by Amy Michelle Mosier
Oh, star – brightest star –
That's first in the sky –
I don't need advice;
I just need an ear.
Nobody else must know
But I feel terrible.
You seem quite capable
Of fighting evil's blow.
