Speak No Evil
The touch of their slice bleeds out my exuberant self
As the pain they bring within, into anger ferments
A hot spring of words akin to crepuscular hues bursts within
But before my mouth can utter, consciousness becomes visceral
And a blanket of penumbra covers my imploring, hurtful words
My desultory state is taken back to halcyon times of my solitude-
Did I not engage that inner voice to breathe opulent emotions in me?
And often have I not prayed against jealousy to retaliate?
“Why now result to being cynical, yet two wrongs balloon the wrong?” it asks
“Bless and do not curse” is the sonorous voice that hushes my rage
