Silvery tongue

Silvery tongue

A Poem by Brandon Strickland Erickson
"

A poem about someone I may know;)

"
A smooth and silvery tongue has he
a voice so sweet and strong
it intoxicates
Does he use this gift for good maybe?
No, he uses it for harm
his gift
Convince, connive and deceive he does
but still all sing his praise
he laughs
They love and cherish him because
he knows just what they want
his siren's song
Just like the waves that crash the beach
he soon leaves them all behind
to vanish
Destruction and ruin he leaves for each
but still for him they long
and hope
Appear again to them he might
and so happy they will be
at that
So joyous and excited at his sight
they love and long for him
their Sweet
He gave them more than they could want
those tapestries he wove
then destroyed
Their dreams his voice and eyes do haunt
he left them wanting more
of course
So again and again they will forgive
A life with him they want to live
A magic life that he can weave
A magic life they can believe
They know it's all false imagery
Still, with him they long to be.
