Shh...Secrets

Secrets 
A drop of silence.
A long road into conscience. 
Fear is frightened.

My whispers moist the mirror, 
I have been talking to; lips move.
A sweep with my hand reveals me, 
at least partially; eyes, nose…
The broken images look like 
an unborn soul with unfulfilled 
desire, to be born and thrive.
My wishes, of reversing time 
and walk backwards to the root,
set me alight; I see secrets
being destroyed in that fire.

Indeed, we all hold secrets to everyone, even to ourselves, and whenever we go fishing, the real thinking process, prosecuted by metallic spheres into the ocean, silence, solitude, those secrets are usually revealed; thanks a lot for the experience, your writing is great =D
