As with the thunder, the lightning is sure to follow

One must remember what this life used to be like

And which tongues are safe to swallow

In an instant
A literal second
Moistened, fattened, padded for our own protection
To soften the blow
As the cannon balls are fired in our direction

With a whisper the voice fades
If you come nearer
And softer
The worries float away
If you are truly precious, then kiss me now
Before I died
Yesterday

I truly love the ending of this. I can actually relate to it, in a funny way, thought pronbably not as it was intended in the write.

I think the end is very clever.

I really like the way you changed the style after the first stanza. That is hard to pull off without making the poem suffer, but you did well. I like it.

Great write, it's nice to see things a little different, at times.

*hugs*

The tilte drew me in-
and the work was pinnacle,
though the last stanza threw me a bit.
