Ergo, the Ogre

A large, sprawling oak tree with thick branches covered in green moss, surrounded by lush greenery in a natural setting.

It’s Open Link Night over at the dVerse Poets Pub. Sanaa is our host.

I’m one of your most dangerous secrets.

A guilty pleasure kept
safely under the covers and

silent as a lie. Be mindful
of certain secrets, my dear.
They like to tell themselves.

    Ah yes, secrets have a way of letting themselves be known :) The woman in the image above is Riya Sen, ravishing Bollywood actress who has played several roles in films that revolve around the subject matter. 💝💝

    The truth usually comes out in the end one way or another. The eyes of the woman in your image surely are saying something!
