What hidden secrets the ribbon horizon holds
Confidences of lovers from both sides of the world
I walk the beach, wondering if she will spill any
Alas she does not...

Laughter,
the buzz 
of
private
confidences,
echoed in the rooms.
And when I looked around
I could see friends,
people
who
I 
trust,
eager to let the 
sunshine
in 
their
lives.
This is living;
This is joy,
the moments
of
being alive....

The older woman is seasoned, sassy and secretive, just ask Ms Mim
She can unleash her confidences, but she has learned to keep them
Knowing when to keep quiet, is learned in the hardest of ways
But the experienced crone realizes it makes for much better days...

Can keep confidences quiet
Outstandingly trustworthy 
Never betray anyone
Friendship of many 
Idealistic and faithful 
Delights in being true
Encourages loyalty 
No need to share
Tranquil and calm
Integrity in tact 
Awesomely
Loyal
Ideal friend
Thank
You...

Inside every person is this magical light
Nothing more beautiful if it's switched on
Suddenly the flashes of inspiration comes
Please encourage others to pass on a fire
It so easy to knock someone confidences
Remember how you felt inspired by other
Everyday try be a ray of sunshine and hope...

He is...
She is....
I am....
We are....
News travels fast.
Especialy when it is self-revealing or telling
More especially if it is juicy or gloomy
He is a tightwad.
She is having an affair.
I am telling you in confidence.
Confidences travel faster than the IS.
Faster than the THEY.
Faster than the WE.
Weirdly enough....

Oxygen addiction plagues my mind,
Whirling hurling in this façade of a skin suit.
I can't stop moving-
Gracefully escaping myself,
Will it make me confident?
Spiraling into the depths 
Of curtains that would steal my fix,
Smother me in confident
Confidences shared between the wings
Fluttering nervously away-

And I will be alone....

We are shy women Sheba told me
Close-mouthed
You will never get our stories
I was silent.
She told me about three of her friends.
Revealing many confidences regarding divorces, family deaths, arguments
When her friends discovered this, they told me all about Sheba
Keeping back nothing
Which ones are the shy ones? I wondered.
Having no idea....

Typical strengths weakness.
Acute trusts entrust.
Longer trusts hope.
Easy confidences thrust.
Numerous accomplishments achieve.
Typical strengths weakness.

Internal strengths highlight.
Such confidences delight.

Giant trusts hope.
Obvious strengths weakness.
Divine comforts the spirit.

Grateful respects esteem.
Individual trusts entrust.
Valuable jewels distrust.
Easy confidences glory.
Noteworthy accomplishments achieve...

Painting #7
Twilight Confidences by Cecilia Beaux 1888


Change The World 

Assurance guides the night air 
adhering to the cries of the poor, 
muffled voices in the midst 
of a wedding feast. 

Bound by promises 
and sacred oaths, 
imprisoned by freedom 
to never rest 
until all have found 
God’s mercy. 

Twilight confidences 
shall never utter 
one word of doubt 
instead, solutions 
that are certain 
to change the world....

When is the totality,
for the city shake
of shoulders—
meant to pick a
tulip from its smile?

The moment she's pulled
from her planet
reveries— she writhes 
and slowly droops,
her face, a blacking out
kind of hue.

For once on Terra firma,
she let the heaven in—
its color confidences;
and how our mind on dry 
land would spin.

And by her cells wherever 
they time; know her 
comatose petals will all fall— 
but she's someone else... 
in shredded flight....

It’s  July … fragrant  honeysuckles  remind me
Of  summers young when innocent passion bloomed;
Unearthing glances,  confidences  --- a  throb my heart first held
Until  desire turned into precious  love,   we ignited
The ambrosia of moist lips, the blush  of intimacy:

Many a time, I wonder about him… fondling our space
While in  eves quite , his kind laughter drifts    now and then.
