Deep dark secrets.

Sunil Bhatia 1971 (Allahabad)



Deep dark secrets
Languishing in private domain,
Somewhere in a closet
In the corner of my brain.

Or is it a place hidden, some hole ?
At the bottom of my heart,
Surely they can be nowhere
If nothing else, wandering in my soul,
For a start.

They seem to say something,
Of which I not know,
The deep dark secrets
Are wanting to grow.

They will live as long
As my days are here,
These deep dark secrets
One day,

Will be lost on the way
Up the stairs.
