FACES OF CLAY

FACES OF CLAY

Who smiles in your face with hatred 
In their hearts..
Faces of clay 
An envious friend in the way

Who tells your secrets 
When the conversation ends.. 
Faces of clay 
Whose lips spills gossips 
Every day

Who says I love you
With a warm embrace 
But deadly venom 
Saturates their kiss.. 

Faces of clay 
One who calls you brother 
At the end of the day 

O!! 
The deceitfulness 
Of a man's tongue 
His lips speaks words of peace 
But deep within, his heart of envy 
Like an inferno burns.

Wow Wilford this is EPIC, how often have we been stung by someone who appears to begin by showing good true intent. Nothing is ever quite what it seems sadly. I loved the use of faces of clay, and how that continued to shape and form this piece. Just like clay itself shapes and forms. This is a very clever write my talented poet, absolutely superb

Gwendoline..
Your words of encouragement.. Lifts me like wind beneath my wings...
 Causing me to soar high in the air with excitement.
I am grateful for your kind words.
