Sweet and bitter

A cake of hate iced with love, murder irate in a silk glove

Vulture with feathers of a dove, venom below gilded by illusions above

Golden ring sheathed in rust, diamonds buried in fallen dust of trust

Better love in an abhorrent crust than the canker of rancor frosted with love that's lust

Loved the contrast and irony
Appearance can be deceiving
And trust is sometimes misplaced

extremely nice rhyming at play here in the very effective work of contrasting balance of images. -carl

Thank you Carl that means a great deal from a poet such as yourself.

[Chris Shaw]

Delivers powerfully and with a punch. Such contrast in the imagery Soren.

diamonds buried in fallen dust of trust, says it all. When trust has gone, can it ever return?

[Davidgeo]

A beautiful disaster... excellent work Soren. You've done justice upon the human language here.

[Soren]

Thank you I deeply appreciate your read and kind words

[John the Baptist]

This one seems heavy with a sense of betrayal. I get the impression that someone who was trusted was found not to merit that trust.

[Soren]

A most accurate sense John thank you so much for the read and comment.

Powerful poem. Love is a desire for lust. I feel

[Soren]

Nature would tell us so in its preservation of one's DNA but there seems more to the untrained eye that often mistakes preservation for love.

I believe two sides to every coin, two sides to every thought. The poetry told many stories. I liked the hardness of the thoughts. You made the reader think and ponder. Hello Soren and thank you for sharing the amazing poetry my friend.
