Secrets:
Can you see them standing
There
Awkward glances, furtive glares.
But then step out
Step out of that bright
Glaring light.
Listen hard
With all your might.
Tiny whispers fill your ears
Little lines and happy spheres
Reaching far between them
All
Waiting, waiting, to fill their
Fall.
Screens start buzzing
Eyes start glowing.
With every word
Their hearts keep growing.
A swallow here,
A swallow there.
Lips uncovered,
sealed blue with knowing.
Secrets pass through those thin
lines,
Marking each on their fine
Minds.
There is no escape now,
No friendly excuse.
Their eyes must harbor
Those dangerous feuds.
Take a breath,
Clear your head.
Don't let anger
Fill your bed.
Sigh without regret or pain,
Listen while they speak again.
Think over what you've just heard,
You might understand,
You might just learn.
Another puzzle left unsolved,
Lift your chin,
Don't dissolve.
Each one, like a flower,
Growing, blooming, blowing
In the wind.
Their lips all uncovered,
Sealed blue with knowing.
