Secrets We Keep

he exposed
me in
nakedness
of walls
now
no place
to hide
wanting
wanting to
know secrets
deep
secrets only
you
can keep
buried under
rubble
pearled over
ugliness
panning for
something that
isn’t there
for I
have looked
before
and
there are
no diamonds
under tears

When you Love someone you feel compelled to wear their skin and know them intimately. Often however the truth once uncovered can hurt both. It takes time to learn the dance of intimacy without stepping on your partners toes. I may never know it, I dance too close. I enjoyed your short poem and your attentions to mine.
