Precious Secrets.

treasures held in secret
defended to the bitter end
protected from our enemies
who can we trust if not a friend?

discoloured through the years
though ancient words all faded
tainted by it`s mysteries
secured by dagger bladed

deception, spells and treachery
never to see the light of day
for these precious secrets
are now safely locked away
