ShapeShifters

Words...

Mysterious,

Aren't they?

For a King,

An absolute edict.

For a Slave,

A dying plea.

 

If by the 'Wise',

A lesson.

From the Fool,

A mere jest.

 

Now stay with me!

Won't you?

These words:

A poet's

Introversion.

 

Not Constant,

Rather, Dynamic--

The ear they fall upon,

The mouth they leave.

 

Enigmatic,

Bestowing strength upon

The ones who dare.

 

Pretentitous

Are the appearances

Guarding the core.

 

For it's not flesh,

But rather the words

That remain.
