Dirty Little Secrets

go into yourself
into the very depths
make your confessions
in the most silent hour
of sorrows and desires

your enormous past
your house of memories
a piece of your life
a work of art
where poetry lives

find your own paths
take hold of your life
unfolding like fate
from insight to insight
eternity lies before you

winds scour the beach,
and my thoughts sail away
to where no one is waiting,
just the sea beating on rocks.
have i forgotten you?
i see you on every shore,
my heart beats with pain,
not wanting to leave,
not willing to stay
entangled in the past,
bound to my vague memories
where the footprints fade,
little by little

like the wind, i sing from the shore,
this grief, too Deep for words,
too Dark for tears that come no more,
far from Erin’s circling birds,

my Fate it seems, to sing the sad songs,
tormented beyond the Veils, and ages
far from the arms where my love belongs,
my tragic tales unfold in these pages,

imprisoned by Who i am, i sing,
this grief, filling every silent night,
across the great sea, ever longing
for the worst, for my heart’s delight.
