Your Secrets Are Safe With Me

do trust me...

whisper into 
     my ear 
          all your troubles 
               and rest your head 
                     cozily 
                          on my 
                                broad shoulders;
go on, 
     your secrets 
          are safe with 
               me, and only me
                    and I wholeheartedly 
                          trust...
                               you with all of mine

                             (yalto)

Really fine, Edward. I don't think some realize the effort and expertise it takes to write a "Yalto." Superb.
