In the silent depths of the night, where shadows dance in secret
In the silent depths of the night, where shadows dance in secret,
I wove my fears with threads of stars, into a labyrinth of the soul.
I withdrew when the light began to shine, when dreams took flight,
Fleeing from the fear as old as time, an ancestral echo whispering constantly.
Silent steps on unknown paths, I navigated through

In Secret
Clouds hang low on stained
footpaths slick with moss clinging
as vines of green. He
waits in rain for a quiet
rendezvous, hardly breathing.

Life In Secret
Buy land in secret
Build the house in secret
Then do the house warming party
With publicity
Date in secret
Propose in private
Then marry in front of a crowd
Let your haters only see your reality
Never your vision
Or you will have division.

In secret depths, hidden from the world's eyes
In secret depths, hidden from the world's eyes,
Demons and gods struggle in a silent battle,
Untamed powers, captive in my own being,
Disputing their place in an eternal dance of suffering.
Like ghostly shadows, demons lurk in corners,
Whispering sweet temptations that lure and torture me,
They are hidden desires, unfaced fears,
Feeding on my insecurity, leaving me broken and tormented.
The

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
In the depth of the night, when the veil of darkness covers the world like a regal mantle,
In the mysterious silence of the universe, I float through the restless ocean of my thoughts,
Where shadows weave their tales

In Secret
It is a sad time
through silent tears
my heart broken
from this day we part
my cheeks pale
your kiss is cold
sorrow just begins
the morning dew clings to my brow
my heart shattered
all our vows distorted
oh this feeling of emptiness
as I call out your name
I shudder as I hear
your

The Snails Met In Secret
The snails met in secret
For their parents were political
Arguing about everything
That never matters to anyone at the moment of death

Submarines In Secret
Moonless are the nights on oceans
Waves dance in total tidal darkness
Positions must be kept by stars secure
For submarines gone missing
Gone drifting into foreign seas
Hiding there unseen in secret
No shores in sight, no shores at sea
On moonless nights so frightening
As something sinks, a mystery appears
As nothing there to see

Giving In Secret
Whenever you make a donation
rather than seeking an ovation
let your gift be in secret.
For while it's unseen yet
in heaven you'll receive approbation.

Immersed In Secret Schemes of Quirk
I might not be accurate, precise, exact, and truthful,
And cannot speak to you in a voice more amplified
than what you hear now,
To the rational thinkers,
I’m able, skillful, thorough, and genuine,
Exhibiting aptitude, capacity, efficiency, and power,
Yet, the shallow minded opined that
I’m facile, showy, cheap, and superficial.
I wish to please the world,
The anticipation painted the world

Secret Words In Secret Places
Secret words and secret places
Moonlight dinners with all the graces
Soft summer walks in the eventide
Time together to just abide
Smooth satin sheets with a light touch
Saying I love you so very much
Sitting together in each other’s arms
Anticipating your touch and golden charms.

Woven In Secret
It was a tangled web they spun
their silken threads hid the truth
Weaving dark clouds to cover the sun
Preying on the innocence of her youth
It was a secret kept too long
They fed the fire with their lies
And muted the beauty of her song
The truth would surely shock and surprise
Then

In Secret
I perceive her as fire, not too smokey,
But glossed enough to burn my desire
Of illicit pleasure to fill empty pathways
Isolated by glass, guarded by egg shells
Only the waves know this rapture,
Only the stars hear loud groans,moans.
Although the warmth or heat is rented,
My own misery or despair erased
As her thighs waxes on mine, slow
Then fast
