Editing
by virtue, experience, self denial
tongue held
ever the right choice
over speaking wrongly

in the morning
waking without regret

you may ask
I may not answer

again, sleeping
with my own innocence

Sometimes you just have to bite that tongue, right or wrong. Probably a wise move.

a little early for me to get the full meaning of this,
but it is very well written.

edit me to your desire....

Look into the eyes of a man and
you will find the soul of the woman
who loves him...

Sometimes editing our emotions or urges seems to work best for our peace of mind. Great psychological poem.

Yes, editing. It is a blessing. Because once you are beyond editing and the words are already read or heard, it's too late. Some poems made me think and reflect, this one did. Thank you for posting it.
