As Passionate As the Deep Red of the Damask Rose
Words have power
and strength
They have a gentleness
As soft as a downy feather on a breeze
As passionate as the deep red of the Damask Rose
They also have the power
To cut
To wound
And kill dead
That was once so precious
How harsh and oh so gentle
Is the tongue
