    Secret

    Covert ops--
    Black tie, black coat.
    Heartbeat drops--
    Red blade, red throat.

    Secrets
    whispered words
    only when kept
    remain secrets
    hush

    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    hush?
    a secret is something
    to be told
    and shared, to be
    kept alive
    among the living.
    a secret should not die.

    Indeed I am. Should I send it to you or should I just "post reply"?

    The Mirror of the Soul

    Today: me, him. Him:
    - Child. Radiant child.

    Our eyes meet -
    me, him, radiant children

    joy on the spot. Now
    that he’s gone now

    that there are no more children
    neither he nor I… neither I nor he

    I'm afraid of myself
    I’m afraid for me –

    for him - of him in me !
    Now that he’s gone...

    The Seed

    The secret seed
    she swallowed
    began to grow
    spreading through
    her extremities.

    It's toxic fruit
    grows heavy
    and that which
    she consumed
    now consumes
    her.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    What can I say? I live up to my name. I am the Dark Muse.

    I love William Blakes "Poison Tree" which helped inspire this.

    Whisper, my love,
    Soft breaths in my ear
    Words to tickle my heart
    And caress my soul
    Without shackles of meaning

    Tell me your secrets
    Pretend they aren't dark
    With your voice light and sweet
    And your fragrance in my mouth
    And lips so warm
    If we find the answer, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason-- for we would know the mind of God.

    -Stephen Hawking

    I think all entries are worthy winners they are all indeed eexcellent and it has been difficult to chose but since I have to only pick one I think it would have to be Dark Muse.
    The piece has all the element of what a secret can be and what it may lead to!

    Congratulations Dark Muse
    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly
