Dare Not Speak
You tell me your prentends,
We step over the ballroom so slow.
You dare be honest?
Well so will I: We both know,
Forevers you intend are impossible,
Time and place is unstoppable,
Even though it pains to show,
We need to readily go...
Down salty: the riverbeds,
Where lovers drank liquid lead,
And never thought twice,
Nor reconsidered.
Actions that appear harmless,
In the moment, smile,
Sure no tears be shed.
Ignorance like ice,
Ignore the upcoming bile.
For lying gains no intimates,
But envy from enemy,
Hand in mouth; oxymoron,
Season's change denying virgin snow.
In the past, touching lying faces,
I have seen them lie their heads low.
Chatterbox mouth,
And teeth so rotten.
Dare not speak, you say to me...
"I love you, my sweet,
My one, my only friend."
Embracing the earth,
I would gladly be ,
If not certain was I,
That this is the end.
