STILL THE NIGHT

Keeping secrets held within.

STILL THE NIGHT

Still the night that ever stays,

Closing tight the door.

Search the corners of the room,

Knowing what's in store.

Keep the secrets held within,

Hid behind the lies.

Each tomorrow will reveal,

Every chosen prize.

Lead the way to unseen plains,

Hone the powers obscure.

Disregard each judgement call...

Helpless to endure.

“Still the night that ever stays,
Closing tight the door.”

Sharon, your lovely poem is so relatable to me. Hiding alone amid secrets and lies of the past is a prison of our own making. The walls close in more and more every day, suffocating us. I know this personally. Your evocative, beautifully laid and rhymed verses express this feeling perfectly. Very meaningful write.

Thanks so much Annette for your beautiful review! You are appreciated my dear. ~Sharon

reminds me of my mother, two faces a public & private one, & lying about anything in her life she felt uncomfortable about revealing!
lovely poem, that's a neat idea of only the 2nd & last line rhyming.
cheerio carola

This cloaked mystery is knitted together with intrigue.
Needs a part two.

[Miss Sharon]

Awwwww! What a beautiful review. Thank you so much. ~Sharon

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A flowing rhyming piece with a small suggestion of still having yearnings that are seen to be needing to be kept to oneself.

[Miss Sharon]

I feel like night is all the time and you find it hard to escape. You are locked in with deceit and lies and everything to touch is tainted. Secrets will be revealed one by one, as tomorrow will reveal more.I believe you know what's in store for you and that is what makes it unbearable. There is much suffering in this piece, but maybe there is hope as well.
Well done Sharon

How often do we just want to scream for the whole world to hear, "I am not okay!"
The mask worn to head out suffering from those who spout false compassion... The mask to hide our weakness from our loved ones who need us to be strong. But inside, the pain, the rage, the despair, it rots our core.
Well expressed here. All the things that ultimately only He can ever understand. Nicely done.

(All the things that ultimately only He can ever understand.) How very true my friend! Thanks so much. ~Sharon
