Take Back Those Words

Take back those words that hurt so much
And soothe my soul with honeyed touch
There is no need for icy scorn to bite
To cloak my soul in endless night
A word or two should be all it takes
To show me the folly of my mistakes
So don’t banish me from heaven’s place
Let me feel the hope of its saving grace

Don’t thrust my soul into deepest hell
Hold me here where I know so well
That the light of sunshine falls on me
In this place where I want so much to be
If I have erred as I know I do
Let me sip again from poetic dew
My mind can’t stand to feel the pain
Of icy words that drip like rain

Take my hand in friendships clasp
And don’t let me see that cruel mask
That shatters my soul with frigid stare
Show me instead how much you care
My mouth moves in supplicant’s plea
Asking that you’ll please forgive me
Now let me enter paradise once more
Where truth is love and hearts don’t war

Take back the sting from words that fell
On my sorrowing soul like a death knell

Marsha

Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

Yes. *S* And you have a magical way of weaving words. *S*

This plea for compassion in the punishment is something we all should remember... for both those times we transgress and those when we're transgressed against. *S* Well done, lady. *S*

Ms. Mushy!
It flows so smooth. How could you be denied? I'm so thrilled you are here!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

You have a way to soothe with even the
harshest of words...

This one did flow so smoothly, Marsha

I feel as if once uttered, the words cannot be retrieved. Oftentimes we forget the power of our voice. Oh, but to take back a fraction of the words I have uttered and have those which have been uttered unto me retrieved, would be a wonderful thing. Forgiveness, I think is think is the best we can hope for in our times of thoughtless voice.

Beautiful verse...really made me ponder and wonder...and that to me is the essence of poetry.
