Secrets Poem by Valerie Dohren

everyday secret, love, good one.

Such beautiful words Valerie. But how we all already know your trustworthy heart, purely from your gentle words and your kindness. Thank you and I am sure that every one of us would trust you with our hearts.

They who told them now are gone Though their memory lingers on. Of these tales I'll never speak Even though my tongue is weak.' Very well written, Val.

It's no Secret to us all, That you're poems do enthrall! Val, We all love you and them.

.Secrets cherished become so precious that the integrity of our past merging with present will look very sweet an entity to brood over. Your memories and bonds are sweetly real and they will have a long stay, be assured, Val.

Very well done, nice to know someone can keep a secret lol. I hope you are doing well, best wishes to ya kiddo and keep up the good work!

Wonderful pen to trust and confidence... touché to you dear poet... and to your honor and resolve I tip my hat and graciously bow.

To me the heart of keeping a secret is honoring the heart, the identity of the teller, and not so much the subject matter which might well serve mankind. Surely all of our secrets if shared with others in a protected fashion (just because they contain sensitive material) are food for thought for all mankind, showing us as they do how all of our feelings bind us together in one humanity. Very nice poem though. I'll be coming back for more. You may just have inspired a new poem in my mind. So thanks for that too!

Each who spoke them trusted me/ Not to ever set them free - It appears that to let loose those secrets is an immoral betrayal trust. So, according to this great poet, one has to Keep them safely, guard like gold/ All those secrets ever told -(told to us) A personifying instruction to the soul and conscience, a witty control to garrulous tongues. Great couplets here, Ma. ...Joseph Oladehinde Ibikunle (Nigeria)

Interesting sentiments, and nice rhyme too!
