Weighting Trust


The madness of intimacy
is pouring your soul
into another’s heart
and trusting it will
keep your secrets.

Once the nightingale sings
it no longer controls the music.

    Oh, that final couplet – such a perfect culmination – gave me that authentic shiver up the spine!

    Indeed, when intimate with somebody one tends to let them in fully caring/thinking not of the consequences.

    Intimacy takes over even the nightingale's singing. Powerful.

    Stunning, Susie! But I wouldn't trust a nightingale with a secret.
