Words Are Maidens To Desire
© by David Priol

words fly, words bite, words hurt
words lie, word fight, words flirt
words die, words slight, words skirt
words never kiss, words cannot survive
except on the tips of tongues
begrudging of desire...
words beg, words fool, words hurl
words peg, words spool, words curl
words reg, words cool, words unfurl
words never lose, words rarely deny
trudging in single file...
words lend, words loan, words edge
words bend, words stone, words sledge
words fend, words atone, words pledge
words never end, words are on fire...
plunging to despair...
words are maidens once defiled
