My tongue gives so much pleasure with honey flavoured praise She bears ripe fruit and drips with perfumed sap If you merit her attention she’ll treat you with delight Her touch is warm and tender If she is cherished… Right? She’s tamed to speak with merit but there is no guarantee She won’t spout bitter venom if you’ve wounded me Men have tried to tame her with strength and brutal lust They met with bitter poison Killing lust forever… Cursed!

Tame the Tongue
My tongue gives so much pleasure with honey flavoured praise She bears ripe fruit and drips with perfumed sap If you merit her attention she’ll treat you with delight Her touch is warm and tender If she is cherished… Right? She’s tamed to speak with merit but there is no guarantee She won’t spout bitter venom if you’ve wounded me Men have tried to tame her with strength and brutal lust They met with bitter poison Killing lust forever… Cursed!
