Can You Keep A Secret...? Poem by samuel ataguba

As surely as the sun may rise
this heart shall speak
its stories you shall hear
its postulations shall suffice
for the yearnings of a heart
are more than a fistful

In silence, the world listens
as this heart cries
'A man has failed himself
he has fallen, he has fallen
broken and helpless
in tears and in pain
that he may stand again
we pray and hope'

Raise me up
O conqueror of my soul
that this man may know
that though he fall
his fall is not in vain

O, Heart of mine
shed a tear for me
for to rise in goodstead
may seem illusory
shed a tear for me
for love conquers principles
O, Heart of mine
shed a tear for me.

Truth remains light
and in light
we forever stand
that we may not stumble.
For the fallen shall speak
and this Heart shall keep silent.
The fallen shall speak

Cortia,
listen, i plead
for there exists a weight
on this Heart of mine.
This is to tell you
that my thoughts dissipate
at the sight of you
the less I hear your voice
an emptiness fills my inside
Cortia, can you keep a secret...?

In this life
a lesson I have learnt
love breaks boundaries
love denies philosophies
love redefines life
O, Heart of mine
to stand without this love
is to stand in vain
I choose to remain fallen
fallen for this love
than to stand without
Cortia, can you keep a secret.

Virtous lady,
emotions may run high
time over-runs it
obsessions and delusions may exist
the presumption of sanity, i plead

First impressions they say
are very important
but to know the truth
and to stand under the light
I ask...
could first words be?

Cortia, can you keep a secret?
I Love You
