Poem: A few words

It takes a few words

To unbutton the secrets of life

Yet those words stay hidden

In the firmament of our psyche

Those words stay tangled

To the cosmic web of secrets

Those words are permanently locked

In the vault of our collective consciousness

Those words are invincible

To our roving eye of selfishness

Those words are impenetrable

To our highly trained special force of mercenaries

Those words are sequestered

In our world wide web

Those words are inaccessible

To our ever expanding mouth of wickedness

Those words are absent

From the biggest street encyclopaedia

Those words are buried

Away from our Machiavellian minds

Those words are shrouded

Under the fabric of space-time

Those words are covered

By the darkest veil in the whole universe

Those words are concealed

Not by night or day

Those words are clouded by our blindness

Those words are inside the bowl of our hearts

Those words are “I love you”
