Shhh...

A secret buried
Blooms lies, and in time, they turn
Themselves, to secrets.

Golden is silence
For words coarse and fine, still bear
Hard truths, or sweet lies.

Promises

A promise well made
Holds no more worth than the truth
In its intention.

The moral compass
Matters not, should one choose to
Not look where it points.

Twist them in harder,
Unkind words into my heart;
Your silence hurts more.

On Charm

A truth told with charm
Gets better heard, than one yelled
Out often and loud.

The Shadow

Toward life's sunset
I walk, and my shadow grows
Longer with each step.
