The Secret
In that moment when two pairs of eyes interlock in silence
Begin to have a conversation with their lips not parting.
It is then that one pair of eyes asked a question in essence
While the other pair gave an answer without blaring.
The two friends intertwined tightly by the depth
Of information that could not be revealed,
Continued to gather much needed strength
And make a promise to keep the information concealed.
As the moment lingers, they manage to whisper
Further closing details, without raising a voice.
Neither did their tongues dare to make a whimper
Nor their pressed lips make a noise.
What was silently conversed was only for their ear,
Thus, it was made sure no-one was near.
