Mouth the Words

Lucite the night, light up the moon and stars and sun but don't tread on me
Lucite the night, shine your light down on me

Oh, what have you done
Oh, he sees what you forgot

Got a chance to make it right
Write it down to not forget

Get another place in line and hold your piece
Piece together the puzzle of the lie

Lye awake, asleep at play
Play the part and play it well

Well, you've went and done it now
Now you see the harm you've done

Done again, here comes the fall
Fall from soapbox high and proud

Proud of all the lies you told
Told to know one, no one knows

Knows how their own story goes
Goes away to come again

Again he repeats the puzzled lies
Lies that he cannot unfold

Unfold the truth, just let it out
Out of bag the cat has come

Come to breath your breath from you
You panic, choking on your blood

Blood gurgles in back of mouth
Mouth the words, they won't come out.

The last couplet...the best.

This has a very nice rhythm to it, and overall is a very good piece. I like not only the flow of the poem but also the way that the poem conveys such a message.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

love the flow, had a awesome beat to it as I read! Great imagery that amazingly penned what lies can do, once one is told, the truth is hard to speak.

[BlueDreams]
