P. S. Burton
Poem 9


I am trying to write a letter. To a person
Who I consider my best kept secret. Not
Many people know about my secret just me.
I find my little beloved secret. I hold on to it.
I listen to it some days when I’m lonely; I like
That. I remember back when I was a child, I use
To fall asleep after spending hours upon hours
Listening to this little tiny secret voice of mine.

After years...

I have forgotten about the letter. And I can’t seem to
Remember that little secret of mine. I wonder
Where it’s at. Has it dry and been scatter by the wind.
Has decayed in the depths of my soul.
Have I just repressed that soothing siren in my mind?

After years…

I don’t know anything anymore. But I found my little
Secret and I hold on to it every night; like a child does
Its dreams. And that makes me happy that’s the only thing
That makes me happy.
