I am here to confide it's countrywide
as whenever the British gather together
the first topic of their conversation
is almost always the inclement weather
whatever precipitates such predominant
drizzle discussion drenching debate
or downpour discourse
I do not know and cannot relate
soggy foggy or boggy it's one and the same
altho' it's plain we know where stays the rain in Spain
it has also been seen to land on England's pleasant green
yet after such falls mostly all goes down the drain
yet without its descent on the Emerald Isle
there'd be no rainbows to make me smile
but fleeting I do remember it well and can recall
out of three hundred and sixty-five it was the one day
when nothing liquid dripped down from the sky
and as a result last year summer was on a Monday
When you confide in a person and they say things behind your back
then it's worse than someone whom to your face launches an attack.

A handful words reverberate.
This mind, with lots on its plate,
deprived to designate
a graceful lyric of palatal speech.
Heed a genius to beseech,
whose soliloquy seek impeach.
I fear as I drip my word
Teardrops would be overheard
No verse shall set its rhythm or whine
I dread my anguish is seen as I rhyme
Whatever deep into my soul unable to mute
I wholly surrender to the magic of the flute
To bring the sublime into the mundane is insane
My world of poetry, in your glossary no word for strain
Blind to the divine truth we wander astray
Tempted by sick feelings we fall an easy prey
Of all the stages, one and only age
When the Self falls into the clutches of rage
Granted is the time to ponder and reap
What is sown of seeds of wonder so deep
I’m not the wise of these keywords beauty
Just an ardent learner of Mother Nature’s bounty
*****
Hope inside shall reside
Faith can stand the whole ride
Pain to the word would subside
Brave hearts survive emotions tide
Retired souls in rhyme confide.
Reveal your pain with confidence
It'd stay secret between us two
Deep hurt shows through your broken smile
Reveal your pain with confidence
If you prefer by phone, please dial
And you'll learn my share of wounds, too
Reveal your pain with confidence
It's stay secret between us two

Rays of warm sunshine spread a blanket through
Colorful leaves that are waving goodbye
In the nip of cold air that says its true
Still playfully bouncing under blue sky
Trees give into winter’s arrival soon
But through bare branches, new scenes will emerge
Bringing beauty and warmth with a new tune
Shadows will dance on white tops of snow surge
As I dance with you, in sunshine of fall
To a melody of seasonal grace
I truly do listen and hear the call
As I watch this creation change its face
Step by step, across the new stage outside
All the while knowing, with you I confide

Tried To Abide and Confide
There are many things that I tried;
While watching changing of the tide,
All over sand,
Do understand;
Then showing off ego with my pride.
Jim Horn
Always Knew In Christ Could Confide
We always knew in Christ could confide;
On Him did depend on and have relied;
Sheaves in bring,
While songs sing,
And read Bible where He was clarified.

how i miss
the dark calm
of our hideout
where we would
share our secrets
and feel safe
time stood still
in our cocoon
where life seemed
simpler

I work with sixty adults
Out of these sixty I trust one
To keep a confidence
I had tried to trust two
But one could not do it
So
now
I
trust
one.
Confide
Say what’s on your mind
To relieve you from misery
Then cast to the wind

~Author's Notes:
'Daveda's Hybrid Concrete Candle' is a poetry style created by Daveda Gruber.
Desolate times, how eternaly damned, what to feel, where to stand?
Blind to things, things to come, unaware of who it may be deliverd from.
Embrace this sadness, yet takith away, so to feel once again a peaceful day.
A lie, but truth in reality, hard to believe im just a technicality.
So black i stay, hidden in lite, to live like this cant be rite.
Silent but screaming, because no one will listen, damn peopple wake up...i need
attention.
Mom, dad, uncle or aunt, where are you this silence haunts.
No answer just betrayel, drowning in the abiss of self-made hell.
Run...run...run, run and hide, I am no good....someone lied.
Can't you see, there is nothing here, Im everything I have known, but so hated and
feared.
Brave or scared, which to be, neither one ever sets me free.
My head could burst, from all this pressure, the will for anything is light as a feather.
Thats it?...thats all I am, have I realy become like the tinman?
Wishing is hopeing, so what is that, when its been beat and beat get a ambulance
stat!
Call someone please, my friend I cry, give me that reason...to once again try.
Expression, Depression
Both intertwined without conffesion
Hidden feelings, heart sealed
Never letting your heart revealed
Your emotions are yours, no one else can read
You are your own, you take your own lead
Never confiding
always hiding
You cant even talk to me
without even fighting
Just because I care, doesnt mean you need to get mad
Hiding your feelings will only lead to you being sad
Let them go, just open up to me
You will feel so much better, I want you to see
What it's like to have everything out on the table
The way it feels to actually be stable
Know who you are, dont tear appart
Confide in me, let me know your heart
