Fear is a strange thing ~ 55 FFF
under cover
of impending nightfall
colorful secrets hide
unspoken riddles roll around the tongue
the taste of tart fruit plucked too soon
and yet these confidences are
not lies nor are they betrayal
his and hers complicated insecurities
that lurk like lumbering elephants
the onus to keep the secrets safe
a burden of its own.
~~
Visit G-daddy at Mr.Knowitall for more 55's.
Love,
Eaton.
