A Little Secret

I want it again

but smaller this time

burning little ball

of fire You set

long before

I was.

And in that heat,

A little secret,

my guarded heart

(for once)

not leaking

like a sieve

and set to

set me free.

How much

more powerful

Keeping in all

You've taught

me, offering

it only to

the unseeing

eyes meant

to open.

And piling

up the rest,

like paper,

balled up

and thrown

in to keep me

ablaze.
