Premium Member Forked Tongues
When someone lies to me, sometimes it's difficult not to turn and walk away. I think they do it because of one of two reasons. Either they need to feel important, or because they think I'm too stupid to know they're lying."


Nothing irks me more...

Premium Member Forked Tongues of Soul
Spittle of diddle are many tongues forming spittle
two ends against the middle they diddle spittle 
spittle, they diddle, as mucus forms of diddle, spittle
still` Breath of Spirit speaks to even the coldest  souls
current of life excels the void womb thus swells
dilly, they dally, ...

Lately a person begins to read between the lines 
how a network of human beings devalue another's worth 
battered and bruised internally exhausted at times 
they make you invisible shying away from the truth 
To hurt someone that only wishes to speak and correct wrong...

Forked lightning strikes

Never on the same branch twice

Split second moment.

Premium Member Forked Tongue Seduction
The forbidden fruit,  in a garden chaste
 Hanging  from  branches of eternity
 Forked tongue seduction, temptation's taste
 From  Eden to outcast , hard to believe
Our destiny becomes mortality
Knowledge of good and evil, we receive

Paradise interrupted, fall from grace
Redemption the solution, it's...

Fortitiude Is Not An Attitude Nor a Forked Out Relay Race
For anyone going through crap here is a bit of madness xxxxxxx
Why is it that a juice isnt speaking to a nine foot tree? A nine mile climb to a fortune tree, is a vertical axis of cake bake. And that us a sensible thought...

No Forked Tongues
We
ought
to keep all 
of our words 
soft and sweet, we 
might have to eat them...

Loves Forked Road
Loves forked road 

No longer side by side are we
When we drifted apart neither could see.

But  here we stand so far apart
Hoping and wishing for a better start.

Our love we say, still exists deep within
Yet our treatment of each other feels like  sin.

Unable...

Forked Tongues
Not lying outright
is far from the truth
Hesitance vacuous
barren of fruit

What never gets said
deceitfulness hides
Stalking and preying
while buried inside

The pulpit a soapbox
 lectern a mask
Pontification
deceptions bombast

Wittingly fervent
the devil subverts
False implication
—the ultimate hurt

(Dreamsleep: February, 2023)...

Indecision At a Forked Road
bend to break and bitterly fall
I could not stand to compromise at all
So when at last the phone did ring,
I turned up the music and started to sing

I had to forget that I was wrong
So I listened to every empowering song
But the shuffle granted me...

Turnpiking to utopia
until a misleading exit sign
misleads...

Orange cones lead to SunPass unknown
and no other choice but keep travelin'

Fifty cents now in debt
Had it on me but none there for takin'

It.

Well, long story short, now it's me that's the it's what's been
taken.

SunPass can ground me (they...

Premium Member The Worse Version of Me
I hate when you bring out 
this version of me,
I fly like a bat 
I sting like a bee.

Hissing at you with
a red, forked-tongue,
I can spit like a llama
I can kick away dung.

I hate when the worst of me 
releases such venom,
The stench from our...
