Tell Me Your Secrets Poem by Anita Atina

Tell me your secrets, he says gently

Looking into her eyes, a woman who has lived with secrets all her life


She smiles, and says, there are many secrets behind this mask you see

And there are many masks, some you haven’t yet seen


So which one of these, should I reveal she asks with a warm answering smile

He holds her hands, looks into her eyes and says quietly after a moment


Let the mystery be, let me watch every mask reveal, whenever I meet you

For each adds an element of mystery and heightens your allure


And each time we meet, wear a secret and a mask of your desire

Let it be any colour or design, as long as I set your heart afire
