TONGUE

 

TONGUE

 Amaze swaging tongue of a human,

Traps easily by sweetest words in cheeks,

Deceives every soul, tongue modulates,

Voice much-believing pour gifts ceaselessly,

A human can stomach to a limit more fatal,

Hungry is tongue is an insatiable appetite,

House, properties, gold, diamond to lick,

Angelic voice tongues wear till a point,

Desires if unfulfilled  lust coins words,

Sharper than a sword can kill instantly,

Wound by a sword healed by word stays,

The deep-cut tongue slashes a heart,

The scar stays still last breath hurts.

Divides sweet home gets fractured,

Ignites people to quarrel, induces a fight,

Portray saintly avatar sugar-coated unite,

Decides tongue to transfix silence pervades,

Lust lives in tongue dishes indefinitely,

Alas, find con lo tongue-in-cheek shows.
