Rhia Madison Thomer Poet Couplet

Lips of a Liar

I’ve kissed the lips of many a liar
Lip to lip with barbed wire

I’ve held the hands of those who cheated
Hand in hand they competed

I’ve seen the eyes of love turned stranger
Eye for an eye we endanger

I’ve heard the whispers of distrust
Whisper after whisper turn in disgust

I’ve smelled the fear of the coward
Fear makes fear, mind devoured

I’ve had the fingers pointed, judgment made
Judge, be judged, self righteous crusade.

I’ve kissed the lips of many a liar
Lip on lip, blood and fire.
