Cutting Words

Cutting Words 
Vladimir Kush
Together we'd once dance
Words would tease and prance, 
Sweet around your lips 
As we coiled and embraced, 
Touching and caressing with finger tips, 
Sweet honeyed words were spoken, 
Genuine, full of promises and emotion, 
Words composed from the heart, 
Of  a heaven together, our start !

Now we seem poles apart, 
Your words hurt, cut, 
Straight to the heart 
Chopping and dissecting, 
Our life, it's direction, 
Your vocal pen loaded with venom,
 The only words written now are for loves requiem!

  1. What a strong write, Kez! Sad when things change and words written in love turn to words written to hurt! The picture portrays the idea fantastically.

  3. I read this and understood it so well. The voices that hurt each other, the words that draw blood. I hope you find promise in the awareness that words and their use can open up as new possibilities.
