My darkest secret

My orb that glows inside

My crystal kryptonite

The chest without a key

The fire burning slow and fierce

The illumination of my core

Confession does no justice

My darkest secret spins my globe

Intertwines my elements

But alas my secret is no secret

My secret feeds my hunger

My secret feeds yours too

Our little secret is vital

Without it we are desolate

Like a sea without waves

Or an animal without legs

My secret greases our machine

You see my secret is no secret

My secret is the human condition

For the hunger of power is no secret

Here we are in solitude and unity 

United in expression 

Divided by distance 

We can bleed, love, cry and boast by choice 

All in the simplicity of prose 

We are animals gathered 

Under sun or shade, rain or snow 

Mirroring the tremors that shake us 

Reflecting the confines of which we live 

Guiding ourselves in prose 

May we drink when thirsty 

Or eat when hungry 

Or love when necessary 

In a circle bound by emotion 

Centered by the watering hole
