Roses are Red

Love and War

By Colleen WaltersPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

    She comes in peace, as usual.

    No agenda, no judgement , no lies

    In her heart, just the lifeblood of all,

    Peace. For with peace comes kindness,

    and the ability to be quick to praise

    and slow to anger. To be quick to

    endeavor to understand and slow to

    assume. No agenda, no judgement,

    no lies

    can sneak past her.

    They’ll not know it.

    Then the fun begins. Watching quietly,

    as they start to secretly weave

    their web around an unsuspecting soul,

    every invisible strand

    has been seen.

    And silently unwoven.

    There’s a pleasure to be found in

    walking souls out of the darkness, in

    broad daylight.

    She knows your heart and sees your soul

    before you say a word.

    But if you insist, go ahead.

    Lie to her. .

    She comes in peace,

    But don’t estimate her skills

    As a warrior.

    But just so you know,

    She’s feeling cute today.
