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.

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.
-Aditi Hayaran (Larkspur)
vulnerability is a reverse game of battleship
by Sarah A
it’s like i’m playing a reverse game of battleship
crafting my words with caution
guessing and choosing carefully what to reveal
hoping nothing i say
catches fire

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

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

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.
