Lips parting
Tongue straining
Ready to spill
The blood
of truth
or lies
or whatever
secret
Needs to be
Shared
in the moment
When no one is
Listening
Just between
Us
and the ears
We set
Burning

The preceding was born from a request by a friend to write a poem about secrets. I hope I fulfilled the request in a satisfactory manner.
Thank you for reading or listening to my half-blind words.
Freak Out,

P.S. A book full of other poems, available from an Amazon near you…
