I keep my own counsel
No one knows what I'm thinking
I just smile, a demure little tilt of my lips
And lower my eyes
Nothing to give me away

I keep my thoughts quite on my tongue
Line them up behind the windows of my eyes
Safely tucked away
Assigned and catalogued
According to the happening I see

But not so many leave my lips
When words are your trade
They're a precious
And to be used with care

No one knows what I'm thinking
With a demure smile and lowered eyes
I access all the secrets and all the codes
To all the places you should not have gone

Because who holds his tongue
In the presence of one
Who thinks her many thoughts
To herself alone

It may not always be pretty
but it will be true

"It may not be poetry, but it will be true." Poetry in any other name is . . . Trying to make sense of forever. Liked your thoughts put in the guise of poetry, and THAT makes it poetry.
