Regrets And Secrets Fret Poem by John Sensele

Lies told from a broad, bold base
Strain and constrain relationships
Painting impressions that cannot embrace
Confidence in frayed friendships

Lies can't leapfrog
Despite webs of subterfuge
Digital or analog
Concocted in a deluge

Flooding platforms
Hitherto serene
Grown stale when sullied storms
Gather momentum to clean

Fragments of laments
Swimming in rivers of regrets
Sealed in hearts and garments
That break free of sleazy secrets.
