Shhh.... Can You Keep a Secret

Your voice rang out
In the still of the night
Your voice became quiet 
With the dawning of light

Why become visible
When everything is dark 
Why become invisible 
When everything is stark

Reality screams to remain
To reveal the boldness of your game
visible even to my love blind eyes…

We're supposed to be a secret, 
a notion to be shared, only by us…

Here is a very interesting one dealing with a secret love?? One I had not had the pleasure to read before. I think I may have to be coming back to these old pages of your poetry to find poems of yours, Wilma. This one makes me wonder about his secret!!
