Kicked off with a kiss

The tongue is a filthy dagger

blunt and bloody.

 

It scars

the staunchest skull

in a single sweep.

 

It bores an opening,

digs deep,

contaminates the slit

with an illness

which spread swiftly

and muddles the mind.

 

And soon

whatever the tongue squirts

the mind imbibes

without thinking twice

or without even thinking at all.

 

The legend of a lie

kicked off with a kiss.

Thank you for the comment on my Grandparent's photo. Your poem is very deep. It says a lotand is very powerful. Sorry it took me a while to get to your stuff. I broke my shoulder.
