Evil tongue

by Ingrid   Feb 17, 2009


Evil tongue

Evil tongue seeks to destroy
the heart it cannot have
Dark eyes burning
into the backs
of two lovers
Walking hand in hand
Unaware of the wrath
of a lover scorned
Strange echoes
in the laughter
that accompanies their journey
along a path pure and true
Of an evil force
That lets its dark voice mingle
with the pure and honest melody
of love profound
Following its trail
----empty handed

Written for a contest based on the word"envy"

    This poem sent shivers down my spine Ingrid!
    I expected someone to get stabbed at the end by the scorned Lover!! lol!
    Nicely put together, suspense flowing in every word, keeping me right at the end of my seat until the last word had been spent.
    Nicely penned Ingrid!!

    I bet you won that contest :)
    I like it, when I read it I read it more fast paced and it sounded good. I felt alot of emotion while reading it too.
    5/5!

    Oh wow deep, dark poem.. about envy. Some words like scorn and evil really reflected the word envy very well.. great job taking the word envy to the next level, not by describing it but putting it into a poem and have it have a message as well.

    Yet another great poem.
    5/5.

    I could have sworn I left a comment on this before but since it is not there, I guess I am losing what I have left of my mind. lol People do tend to have an evil tongue in matters of jealously of what others have and have to try and knock the other person down by talking about them. Good job. 5/5

    Envy is an ugly thing and there is nothing worse that "an evil tongue" spreading lies and trying to destroy others. Well written. Good luck with the contest. 5/5
