SWEET WORDS

Continue with your words,
Which are so beautiful to me.
I love the perfect hope that you proclaim of me.
Please never stop preaching the words of my praise.

For all I want
Is the sweetness of sound.
Omit the truths if you can,
And let the honey drip from your mouth.

Lie if you must.
Keep the ugly to a hush.
Speak not honest truths;
Gloss over the much needed rebukes.

With your mouth you have kissed my soul
And made me glow.
Making me feel real and undistorted,
You have now persuaded me into my false sanity.
