Tempt the Tongue

Pleasure or Pain!

My tongue gives so much pleasure with honey flavoured praise

She bears ripe fruit and drips with perfumed sap

If you merit her attention she’ll treat you with delight

Her touch is warm and tender

If she is cherished…

Right?

She’s tamed to speak with merit but there is no guarantee

She won’t spout bitter venom if you’ve wounded me

Men have tried to tame her with strength and brutal lust

They met with bitter poison

Killing lust forever…

Cursed!
