Filigree Heart

Filigree Heart

Judge not those whose hearts

you cannot see,

whose soul is buried deep

within the womb

of their safe haven.

Do not count me

in the bronze coins

of your own self doubt.

For I silence wagging tongues

with such brutal confidence.

I care not

what spills from

such diseased mouths.

I hold no pity

for their platitudes,

for their insincere, mischievous malevolence.

Yet such honesty

becomes self brutalising,

brings with it pain.

I may seem like a black knight

riding armoured to battle,

but deep inside

lays delicate tracery.
