I am silent today
Holding in all the things together.
If I were to tell you,
Would it scatter apart?
For it's so much easier,
When there isn't a secret keeper.
Yet, I find myself bubbling,
A world stays in me.
Unknown to the rest,
In the folds of my being.
A volcano of thoughts,
Building up slowly, but surely.
Shall it erupt? Shall it flow?
Traveling towards the vast blue sky.
At times I'm afraid it shall burst,
Spilling those words I dare say not.
Yet I am silent today.
Perhaps my words shall find their way.

Pondering late last night, brought out quite some many questions, I absolutely had to jot it down.
How do you deal with secrets?

Silence is a welcome recluse in a world that seems to hardly shut up :) loved it :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it indeed? :)
DeleteSecrets and silence go hand in hand.. And dealing with secrets can be difficult.. Yet one has to find answers in her own silence.. :)
ReplyDeleteStill dealing! :)
DeleteSilence might speak...
ReplyDeleteYou never know :)
Hehe I know it shall not!
DeleteMy stomach growls when there is a secret I have to keep, but still I can be silent :)
ReplyDeleteHaha mine doesn't thankfully! :p
DeleteI always need someone to share my secrets with ... thankfully I am blessed with a few friends who act as my secret-keepers :-)
ReplyDeleteUh oh :p I haha jk its awesome to share stuff with people that care abt you :)
DeleteI don't confide in anyone.... i may twist it, tweak it and let it out in my blog such that no one but me will know....but no, i don't share my secrets with anyone....because then it no longer will remain a secret!!
ReplyDeleteHehe I did twist and tweak it too.. shh ;) I tend to keep secrets!
DeleteHow do I deal with my secrets? .. That's a secret :P

DeleteI can't keep secrets. maybe because all my life I had to do so and now there isn't any room left for new ones.xx
ReplyDeletedreaming is believing
Aha niki, that says quite a lot. I get your view, as I said... Sometimes words find their way. Maybe I tried to say something here too :)
DeleteTrue Sabeeha, silence does make us ponder long and deep...I can keep a secret but cant remain silent, too much of a silence has me yapping away :P
ReplyDeleteHehe I can understand :p
DeleteI keep mine to myself .. you cant share them .. there is a hint in the word Secret .. its supposed to be a secret .. and i can remain silent when i need to :)
ReplyDeleteshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh is the word :)

Haha thats awesome.
DeleteThat is such an evocative poem, especially the final few lines.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I noticed your tagline for the first time: "Random thoughts on things that matter. Or don't." Gotta say, I love that. :D
Haha thanks Priya, you know one of those moments where I couldn't decide what I shall write about. Hence the inspiration for that tagline!
DeleteHow to deal with secrets?
ReplyDeleteGive them the gift of silence, one day after another.
:) they have my silence!
DeleteCurious way of describing your secrets! I handle secrets the same way. Even though it feels like slipping away sometimes, but I get hold of it on the right moment. Keep writing, not that it needs saying. :)
