Lazy Tongue

Eloquent?
Sophisticated?
Beautiful?
Yes, and no.
Words fall from a lazy  tongue
Adjectives abjectly inadequate
 hard lashes flutter
a brief glimpse of the soul
settling down to supper
devouring the night
the lap-dogs wait
under the table
a falling crumb
a tasty morsel
of the brilliance
that illuminates her path.

I enjoyed the coolness and the simplicity of your words. I guess I don't recommending eating with a lazy tongue, I don't think it's very attractive.


A beautiful yet sarcastic poem.

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Is about a man giving compliments to a woman in hopes she would react to give him affection in return and how she is aware of it and uses it to control him.

[Pól]

Maybe, maybe not.

It seems she's adored, yet words are not enough to convey the stream of thoughts...
Therefore, the crumb is a morsel that may not suffice...duality illuminates her path...

[Joiedevivre]

i can read this two ways, one quite literal, how a man sees the woman he's in love with and another quite sarcastic and making a commentary about how easily people fawn over each other today especially on social media. Both work, nice one!

'that illuminates her path.' Nice one indeed
