SECRET
Some souls are made of marble
others of pain or smiles
and one is made of rose petals
though I won’t reveal who.
My heart would suffer if I exposed you
so I put a lock on my mouth
and though many wise people are around me
no one has managed to guess yet.
Some souls are made of crystals
others are made of tears
and one is made of rose petals
though I won’t reveal who.
I’ve sworn never to disclose even unto death,
but then, who knows, perhaps someday…
Something is burning my lips! Better
to stop this song right now and go no further.
