Secrets

SECRETS

Breaking shackles of restraint
Is love the lost key?
Heart opened?

FADE TO GREY

I gave away tomorrow
So you have today?
This in lieu?

MECHANICAL RESPONSE

The clock on the wall ticks on
Yet my heart does not?
Sick of life?

Seeing Lucilla's comment is kind of Errie. She was a very nice lady and is missed. I hope you get the most out of each day you are gifted. Your poem gives me pause.

Harry, I came to reread this one. I think I got even more out of it the second time. I really like how you put titles to each one!! It sets each one apart though they still go together.
