Notes About The Poem

The Keeper of Secrets

I am the Keeper of Secrets
I have heard all men's tales
Of murder, adultery
And other betrayals

Their stories come to me
Through back doors at night
Their compromised souls
Caught in desperate plight

I'm the Keeper of Secrets
You never would know
I make no judgments
No cursings of woe

I hear both sides of stories
Only one thing is sure 
That both sides are liars
No one speaks the truth.

Ataboy! This a good, nice and simple write up. This write up has revealed that there are two sides to a story and why people do things be it good or bad. But the end of this poem is surprising. Lmao! Who is actually telling the truth?

I liked your Monologue, "The Keeper Of Secrets". I thought it was a priest until he heard both sides. I would agree with you that all people lie. Even the purest lie to themselves. Thanks for sharing your Monologue. Bill

DC Jordan, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thank you SKAT, it's a pleasure to be here. I discovered PoetrySoup when I was looking up Emily Dickinson and then discovered all the site has to offer. It's an honor to be able to present my work with so many other accomplished writers.
