Tempered Tongue
There are words that I’m slow to say, Bound inside and kept away, so My tempered tongue I won’t betray. Without much thought an ass will bray; Many with their jawbone slay, so There are words that I’m slow to say. Fire forged barbs will make you pay; Injured mettle I must weigh, so My tempered tongue I won’t betray. Unbridled thoughts expressed all...

Premium Member Ill-Tempered Words
Let not ill-tempered words destroy your serenity But let the perfect peace which resides within Be the most memorable portion of your identity. Let others see your calm nature-defining affinity, Your strength to take raw adversity on the chin Let not ill-tempered words destroy your serenity. Keep in mind that hatefulness is life’s obscenity Do not let anger or lashing out become...

I’m stronger than I realize, I’m not alone And I’m not a failure I am focused on the prize - God’s Kingdom today, though I’m on my own Feeling like a Jailure I was brave enough Life can be quite rough I was courageous to the touch Nothing much is happening and such I was courageous to the touch Life can be quite rough I was brave...

Train a Tempered Thought
Trail away an impatient notion A stoaked up heated locomotion Keeping leveled mind as whole Added coal takes convulsing arteries toll Bites of charred coal triggers bitter spews Madness chews, and choe's, chew and choe's Aggrivate me to smoldering speeds Added coal boils blood like riled up steeds Anger steams conciousness into misty dreams Keeping calm cancelled by cardinal killer screams Open deeds reveal character...

Tempered
My temper is fiery It wants to break loose Your passion is icy So tender, so smooth Your touch it feeds me It wills me to stay The coldness it dulls me Controlling my rage Always we dance dear Pulling close than apart Your touch leaving me frostbit My fire wanting to ignite We are perfectly tempered Us two, you and I I keep us warm When you're cold on...

"pushing On Tempered Glass" (Into the Night Shadow's Part 1)
"Pushing on Tempered Glass" (Into the Night Shadow's Part 1) By: Miranda Renee (Night Shadow) This is the day, So I better write it down, When I lost my way, Buried in my shallow grave I found. Tempered glass, Is what I lay upon, Push to hard, Underneath me it will be gone. Shackeld heart, Reaches out to touch the light, To far away, That was the day I...

Tempered In the Rage
There are no gentle movements into a calm goodnight there is a rage of intemperance in the stupidity of attempting to mark, as to be in memory there is no remembrance as one I arrived bare maggots my butlers, devouring each and every shedding, eventually being their main course and a life in circles moves a thousand years shall pass in the spinifex, the dust shall blow across the page...

Tempered Circles
Burning with the flames of past exchange An interwoven thought with new distaste Shadows ever dancing with our remains A new-found hate for what we face Washed up by the tides of endless grief Now everything is gone, replaced by need And now we understand the sea of greed A new-found hate for our disease Frozen by the loss of when we tried Even...
