Do you have a secret
that’s never been told
Deeply within you
like long buried gold
Do you keep your own counsel
for no one to hear
While staying intrepid
admonishing fear
Do you treasure those moments
in spite of the time
As words born an orphan
adopted in rhyme
That one treasured secret
alive roaming free
Transcending the silence
—of what’s yet to be
(The New Room: March, 2023)
Acentricus
Star crossed love
a rocky shoal
Distant halves
—a different whole

Lovely to read you. You play words like instruments. Thank you for sharing.
That's high praise HBH. Music, being the highest art form, is what motivates me.
In a different life I would like to have been a singer songwriter.
(I can but ask your forgiveness once more
dear cherished Poet
for so rudely, butchering
your wonderful poetry
but, petulantly
I couldn't help sharing with you
how your words revealed themselves to me..
thank you! for sharing
such a brilliantly thought provoking read)
