How Your Lies Remind Me of a Waterfall

How Your Lies Remind Me of a Waterfall

A Poem by Aella.lives

Mist forms from your mouth

And falls from your stubble chin

Scrapes and grinds with air

         It’s not mixed well with truth

 

You know cares that tremble

And shatter without breath

Rushed from the lips of rain

         They plummet from your tongue

 

Hands smooth but callused palm

Catches mist that dribbled down

Stopping lies and seeping scarlet

         Conflicting with emerald eyes

 

Indifferent wave of torrid motions

I never knew I had

But I cannot design a river without

         Knowing where the waterfall lies.

"You know cares that tremble
And shatter without breath
Rushed from the lips of rain
They plummet from your tongue"

These lines are extraordinary...I simply had to highlight them!

But I cannot design a river without

Lies can fall like rain from a tongue, but you've obviously discovered how to turn them away.
