vile

before her tongue sparks electric flitterings

wherein vile cacophony splatters walls

(perhaps her pride will never be extinguished).

can the tongue bless and curse?

her eyes are gleaming as her mouth is wielding

and those dreadful scars  lighted upon the shoulders

whether deserved or not.

can a fountain be bitter and sweet?

placed, supple syllables seared deep,

scratched the surface then dug for more;

there will be no word misspoken.

where does the bit get placed which steers the body?

her horse teeth chomp freely;

(she is no wonder riderless),

and her reigns were left stabled.

she belches up flowers,

they have lost all their sweet.

the wicked prepare to denounce her.

Hmm? I see a woman marred by lifes pain. She is a mixture of dark and light...bitter and sweet but the bad is starting to over ride the good. Soon there won't be anything left but the hurt thats eroded her from within. The flower she once was has wilted and died. Your last line makes me think of those that point fingers and derive pleasure from the downfall of others...criticizing the very ugliness that exists within themselves.

This is a brilliant write that underlines the destructive power of the tongue. Yes amazing isn't it? How the same organ can bless and curse, kill and resurrect! Awesome!

this is metaphorically brilliant...

you carry it through so well....

where does the bit get placed?

and some people can be bitter and sweet at the same time...so can love.
