Evasive Action

This secret I’ve kept for so long now
that I’ve forgotten what it is
hidden in the depths of memory
no longer able to give me the answers that I seek

for I’ve kept it tucked away for too long
and now even its secret is a mystery,
random acts from the past when I had long stopped caring,
the pleasures of the moment all that I could see

yet even as time goes swiftly by ,
I know one day, it will emerge again
this secret I’ve long kept hidden in the darkness,
betrayals forgotten, but the guilt remains.

  1. I recognize that depth of inner vision. I hear the voice of someone whose reflection brings an uneasy clarity. Glad to see your poetry again. I promised myself I’d read more and blabber on my blog less. Well, I go the first part right. 🙂
