It’s not what you say but how you say it

many more
words
flow with velvet smoothness
words
cut like razor blades
whispers
screams
speech deciphered
by the listener
you say so much
you lie so well
have me
here
there
wherever you choose
whenever
one day torn to shreds
next day forgotten
how much do I believe
how much should I
cry for help
or manipulation
crying wolf
should I’d ignore
how much should I trust
words
what is said
how it’s said
can easily be confused
to the one that hears

Blindfolded (Prose)

November 28, 2013 by ramblingsfromamum

rose red cuts the colour of
your porcelain self
a heart that openly loves
accepting of another
disregarding truth

careful ~

thorns can scratch
or pierce
blood will flow
drain you
do not succumb

lacerated love

the fantasy is culled
reality can wound
things are not
always
what they seem

Such a fool you are (Prose – Part 1)

November 19, 2013 by ramblingsfromamum

throw it my way
the curve ball ~ the unexpected
uncertainty as it leaves your hand
unsure which direction it will take
precariously balanced as if chance governs
a number on the dice rolled across the green
will luck come my way, or do you feel the
lucky one

yet the numbers will not seal your fate
my mouth will
you haven’t heard my phone calls
hand covering the receiver with whispers
that aren’t heard, oblivious to my late night yoga
hell ~ all the classes were running late
how misled are you

so give it your best shot, I itch for the
moment you release me
so I can give you details that shall
make your blood run cold
