I'll keep our secrets, never fear,
What we have said and done this year;
Not one shall see in light of day
Our corrupt repast; not to pray,
My lips are closed, they will not speak,
Even God above turns His cheek.
And Cupid's arrows found their place,
I'll not sigh to him our embrace.
What wonders we've had in our lair,
Giving and taking on a dare.
No one will know, can never know,
Unless my spirit leaves its flow,
If there's a question how I died,
Autopsy ordered at high tide,
And when they cut me say a prayer,
For on my heart your picture there.

Wow... Love the ending to this one, JP... and especially love the typewriter pic... doesn't that bring back some memories. The secrets of the heart are deep, and probably for good reason. Lord knows I will be buried with afew of my own.

I like this very much, Jerry... especially the last couple of lines! The trust implied by keeping secrets can be so very important!

Hello suthern, thank you for you kind remarks concerning the poem. True, if you don't have trust you really have nothing.
