Decay
Word by word
bite by bite
cut by cut
Comment by comment.
I'm not one to gossip
but someone needs to say
Something,
Feeling in the centre,
righteous power
and if not...
I lose control.
But if I searched
my soul mirror,
I’d see the decay harvest,
death dealing lips
white washed tombs
dripping poison smiles
Kisses that betray.
Can I bring the dark
into the light,
Confess to God
with those
same lips?
Starting Thoughts: It is amazing how we use words to cut and kill - all coming from our own insecurities. How do we truly walk that line between having truth, honour, boundaries and love in what we speak but not tip into gossip mode.
