Dark Secrets

Say, do you harbor a secret true like everyone else and me too? All of us have something to hide Affairs we would rather set aside. An illicit fling or an erotic scene Oh, of nature grave and keen, A wild fantasy or wishful whims, maybe, one of the 7 deadly sins? Like the wilted flower in a book or the rickety skeleton in a nook, We hide our frailties in the far recess of our mind for no one to access. I was married ten years to the day, She was too and in a family way, Yet petal by petal I pried open the rose from where in my neighbor’s yard grows. We all succumb to carnal sentiments unmindful of the 10 commandments; If anyone can prove me otherwise that truth I speak not but plain lies. Forever to hold my peace I swear, Not to write, speak or ever share my thoughts or opinion in this case until the last day of my life I face! ~"A Special Secret" contest by Lewis Raynes.
