Skyscrapers Out of Gossamer

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
