Children love secret club houses. They love secrecy even when there's no need for secrecy.

Love is a loser
Secrecy and chance help adultery.
Mere romance is the withered blossom,
Notwithstanding the lovers’ liking.
Adultery in secrecy is unnoticed.
Mere love is a scandal published

My Secret Time
In secrecy my time is set and separate,
My little bags are four thousand,
Away from the date I spoke,
As it speaks to me as a secret.
But this did nothing, in an order,
As proof did exist and you consider
The fallacies so part of the story.
He could still keep a hundred ideas and facts
Together in a pot, it was not easy!
Two weeks later, the final nail was torn
From the fingers of pain and suffering.
My secrecy is providing aid to the distressed
As well as time for repair and renovation.

Intimacy is feared
Lovers fear secrecy
As they both have secrecy.
Intimacy means connecting
The inner core of the two,
Which will expose their weak spots,
Fearing which they fear intimacy.
They want bodily intimacy
Without soul’s intimacy.
Such intimacy betrays trust
And will wreck the very love.

The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.

Our own political life is predicated on openness. We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to enquire. We know that the wages of secrecy are corruption. We know that in secrecy error, undetected, will flourish and subvert.

I am absolutely opposed to a national ID card. This is a total contradiction of what a free society is all about. The purpose of government is to protect the secrecy and the privacy of all individuals, not the secrecy of government. We don't need a national ID card.
Better than notting hill
Gold is precious kept in secret volt,
beauty becomes cheap walking naked
on the street, a bit of all right keeps
playing trick, bang up never comes up
what is in his sleeve , the greats always
conceal as secrecy is success, hide and
seek plays luck in love and war, love for
war or war for love is the same thing
‘'love is in war ‘' stupid, what is this
bullshit! love smeared, the peace maker
is hand in globe with the arms dealer ,
stray dog is the truth seeker, no strategy is
better than hypocrisy but I am here a poet,
playing straight with a bat, great! Greater
than an ant hill better than the Notting hill
always rush in, in a race to reveal the secret
of the secrets

One Gets Used To All These
one gets used to all these
these and that, matters of the heart and soul
veiled with secrecy, worshiped as a secrecy
a devastation of the mind
a burning of the soul but no matter what
we both are here
still strong and silent in pain
rejoicing that oh,
somehow God has a plan for each of us
dead or alive
a room is reserved, a blue sky, a full moon,
a shining morning sun
a white butterfly, a scar that heals
exciting walks of life, stair by stair we tread upon
milestones
we shake our hands
we are here, and move on to the next, where no one
no one
can say, that this is all we have,
look over there,
there is more to all these
go.

So far as I know, there were no pains taken to preserve secrecy on this subject; that is, I saw no attempt made to keep any of the inmates of the Convent in ignorance of the murder of children.

Secrecy
secrecy is a room
gaping
when i enter this morning
it closes itself
and says it will not open
again
love is demanding
exclusive
outside lies hate
you keep it.

A Father's Love
I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye
Fighting was against the rules and it didnt matter why
When Dad got home I told that story just like Id rehearsed
Then stood there on those trembling knees and waited for the worst
And he said, Let me tell you a secret, about a fathers love
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
He said daddies dont just love their children every now and then
Its a love without end, amen, its a love without end, amen
When I became a father in the spring of 81
There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my fathers son
And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end
I took my daddys secret and I passed it on to him
And I said, Let me tell you a secret, about a fathers love
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
I said daddies dont just love their children every now and then
Its a love without end, amen, its a love without end, amen
Last night I dreamed Id died and stood outside those pearly gates
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake
If they know half the stuff I done theyll never let me in
Then somewhere from the other side I heard these words again
And they said, Let me tell you a secret, about a fathers love
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
You see daddies dont just love their children every now and then
Its a love without end, amen, its a love without end, amen

Man’s impatience
Woman’s wish is love be with secrecy.
Man’s wish is it be in high frequency.
His impatience should not embarrass her,
Which it would infallibly be, sure,
If his pursuance becomes a nuisance.
All forbidden loves thus get aborted.

Patience won’t kill
The success of love is in the
Maintenance of its secrecy.
A little puncture, it bursts.
With no patience, man pricks.
With no confidence, woman bursts.

Just One Touch...
Just one touch,
Unknowingly…
Imprints of silent love…
Fragrance of fingers…
Myriads of self kisses
On the same spot,
Later in the secrecy
Of bedroom.
As a pebble dropped in rill,
Thousand romantic ripples…

Secret Mission
I had secret missions, under the snow and land,
Into the war I forget my news of loneliness
And schedules of peace shall overwhelm me in ampleness,
In a battle of prowess, offered by the Above and the sand.
Secrecy is the key to survival, and my deal is a complete one,
Inside this feature is a top belief, a magical relief, and a tonne.
The exploded ones are my explosions, and the brothers are made,
What do you say to these chances? These applications are betrayed.
I have a secret, and that is to delay, to be patient and innocent,
It is a crime these people make on the bloodiness of the achievement.

The utmost secrecy
The utmost secrecy has to be maintained
The enemy too should not know about the plan to be way laid
It is believed that it must be carried out without external aid
Some truth is definitely there when it is clearly said
Who are all to be excluded from such area or zone?
Is that very much essential to be carried out alone?
It is proverbial saying “not even right hand should left”
Everything should be wrapped in veil of secrecy and kept
Even nature is different at every stage and unpredictable
At every stage it is certain but still reared as unreliable
Morning turns out be cool and dews drops on green belt
It is illusion created in mind and very clearly felt
How come those changes as day mounts on adventure?
The dews disappear as if imminent attack by enemy for sure
Slowly the heat is to spread its dragnet and sway the scene
Not a little miss can help you anywhere even if you are so keen
No impression or shine remain permanent for ever
It has to set down quickly and for ever
It may provide opportunity next day again
But may leave you exhausted with lots of strain
As the day of tyranny is over, the normalcy returns
It is still a mystery and there is likelihood of turn
It is secret weapon in the nature’s armory
It adds a lot of concern and worry
So we can plan our strategy based on full secrecy
We can not live on sympathy or mercy
We have to guard our own secrets against any danger
Even close friend can be considered as stranger
There is no scope for any doubts or assumptions
You must be ready for quick change and resumption
The apprehensions should not be allowed to ride over facts
Else it will be considered or taken as hostile acts
The truth may prevail at later stage
But meanwhile it might have caused so much damage
You can not maintain calm posture wile raging with anger
The outburst must not be taken as weakness from hunger
The great misfortune befell on us as result of careless attitude
The lapses should be enlarged and seen with magnitude
It must be handled with care and shrouded by secrecy
This will real test and called skillful diplomacy
The greatness lies in frankness and truth and they differ
Something is to be hidden and something is to be offered
Not everything can be kept under the same label
If you are smart enough and very much capable

Secret Lovers
All these men
Will keep secretly
Writing to you
And keep secretly
Meeting you
But in public
Will vehemently
Deny, ever having
Known you…
They are at ease
Being your secret
Lovers…as long as
They can maintain
Their secrecy…and
Save their reputation
But they'll cower away
From public view, never
Wanting to be seen with you,
If it ever causes them defamation
