THE SECRET SILVER BOX

I

Words,

I whispered words that no one heard

Then quickly slammed my box shut tight

They linger there, my whispered words,

As dangerous as dynamite

But don’t you fear the aftershocks

They’re safe within,

inside,

my secret silver box

 

II

Locks,

I took your locks of auburn hair

They bring me back our common past

Of days we spent and nights we shared

Reminding me how fast they passed

And guess where I’ve locked up those locks

They’re hidden deep,

inside,

my secret silver box

 

B I

If you came back to solve my secret strife

You still would find that there’s a catch

The major secret in my secret life

My box conceals a secret latch
