Arthur Vaso Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

 

This I must say is a work in progress. It is not easy to write a lyrical

poem, without copying the song itself, and a lot of the meter depends

on how it is sung which may not translate well in simple lyrical form.

 

However the point of this was to have fun, and fun was had. I also must thank

the person who showed me the song, as she herself is a singer with a most beautiful

voice. Who knows, one day you all may be listening to her, thanks Chloe!

It Is a Secret

It’s a Secret

It’s a secret
If you keep it
If you mean it to keep
It’s our little secret, I shall whisper 
Promise never to speak

It’s a secret
Never told you
Never told anyone
Now you know it, the truth…  It can’t be undone
It’s a secret. It’s a secret never to be unsung

Don’t you show it
Pretend not to know it
Keep it close to your heart
Cause it’s not a secret if you go out…before
The hoarders of secrets after the dark in Lahore 

If you tell it
Might as well have yelled it
And that simply won’t do
Have to make the secret an agreement between just us two
Swear it and never dare it, keep it close to the heart

Now you told it, so you sold it
Now you know what must be
A secret is no secret when is more than us you see
Let your hair down, let you eyes close,
It’s just you and me

As the poison makes its it motion
Soon you will sleep eternally
Now it’s a real secret,
So secret
Even if it’s out there somewhere
No one knows it for sure, if you cant say what they dare
So sleep deeply and forget it
The promises we made

If you cant keep a secret
Or know when lips sealed
You will have to weep it
As you bleed it
And dig your own grave
You are lifeless and are flightless
Secrets can be so re-made

To the graveyard, goes the keeper
Of secrets un-screamed
To the graveyard, goes the seeker
Whose claims are inane

It’s a secret
If you keep it
If you mean it to keep
It’s our little secret, I whisper as you 
Promise never to speak
