Two Faced Swords Tongues-

Escape into your heart; Where your mind can't be found; Flee into the fleeting muscles, pumping iron; Flow within the vessels that inhabit dew; Liquids of scarlet drops of quarrel; Flee from out your head; Those hurt full pangs you dread; Sacrifice those killing scene; Vanquish thoughts of unpleasantness; Words hurt more than metal, sticks or stone; And within my last breath... Two face swords of tongues left;

James, I came back to find this poem of your's, again. Still need some thoughts vanquished. This is just what I needed this morning. Very uplifting. I still can't figure out the meaning of the ending "Two face swords of tongues left". But I like mystery, captured so well. -Richard

Thanks Richard.. Envision a human marked with 2 tongues, every word he speaks a lie a truth, but with lies hard as steel. James
