I want to write it all -
including the feelings held secret
It's never been written before
I want to write
about the pain and suffering
Hidden behind my sparkling eyes
smiling lips and open hands
I wish to speak and write
about the kind of love
which assists in bringing out
the best in humanity
Some of it you will find in my poetry
Yes, I want to write
about the messages
of an aging heart and loneliness
which is finding refuge
in memories of long ago
Those included the knowleadge
who they are and what they did
Yes, I want to write
about their unfulfilled dreams,
their nightmare of personal
and national war experiences
and their love for family
and their fellow human
Why shouldn't I write
about people's personal prisons?
However, I find surrounded
by profound silence
as I feverishly protect
their secrets
I am grateful
for my nobility and humbleness
which reminds me not write
about the experiences of their life
Those who wish
I would write these things
Need to accept that the secrets
will always remain unsaid
and are left with the choice
to forgive or punish me
