Gossip is the insipid breeding ground from which must wickedness is born.
Skyscrapers Out of Gossamer by Michael Romani Past affections become reshaped into their own hardened melody Layers of self composed invective write a cheat sheet rhapsody Projection of self loathing becomes all that can easily infer While gossipers build petulant skyscrapers out of gossamer Erratic caricatures are spilled across as accusations spawn Blessed am I that you don't jump to conclusions easily drawn Patent attitudes from exes dressed up in passive aggression But your trust in me has long become it's best sort of lesson Claws retracted giving softness to repay life's sarcasm You bring me real love shone clearly as its microcosm Lucid as a polished trope you casually clean house Calling out the mental aggravation of a petrified louse Offering me support and love, guiding me out of self-isolation Whispering the truth that there is hope despite the desolation I smile softly while holding you close warmed by your care Knowing that when I look to my side you will always be there You're bringing me back to music while your words become melody Taking away all the manipulations that had caused the complexity And showing me the path to the goodness and sweet simplicity That has become its own self writing form of endearing rhapsody I feel nothing but gratitude as one by one all trouble passes And you help me lay to waste the troubled snakes in the grasses Teaching me by example to be brave enough to simply say no And where I had struggled to hang on I'm freer in letting go This third act replacement in the self written story of life Is one which you shown me to bring peace and love away strife All of your contributions have added up to one big benediction It's one filled with love and cherished with great anticipation (c) November 17, 2018 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
