Replying to a comment on:
untitled (Free verse) by MacFrantic
There is nothing so sweet
as the bitter ode
from a woman's tongue.
She is the razor blade viper;
an unearthly diversion.
The meek bask in her
unrelenting wrath.
Her wares are the grotesque
corruptions of long-forgotten gains.
What the heart provides,
she will nourish,
and both will flourish.
Yet, in the moment of abandon,
that overseer will stumble
and drive a knife into the chest.
So what is the ruse?
It's masked in rouge,
and smells of perfumed corpses;
a testament to the bygones.
Because where the devil sleeps
she sits upright,
staring into the blackness
of everlasting night.
