NOW IS THE TIME

How sweet is revenge!

NOW IS THE TIME

(Envelope Reversal)

Her lips are mute...mute are her lips

He sees her in the darkness lit

By promises of holy writ

Her lips are mute...mute are her lips

He speaks his mind...his mind he speaks

His words produce a bitter streak

He never turns the other cheek

He speaks his mind...his mind he speaks

She hides her tears...her tears she hides

While holding biting words inside

For all the times in which he lied

She hides her tears...her tears she hides

He fools the world...the world he fools

With lips that smile and eyes so cruel

To ply their trade in lover's school

He fools the world...the world he fools

The time is now...now is the time

To seek revenge while in her prime

She plans the perfect hidden crime

The time is now...now is the time!

A very interesting style to this poem. I really like it! I love the end where she gets up enough courage to pull off .."A hidden crime".... how much abuse can one person absorb. This is well written and an interesting twist. Best, Betty
