Mutilation
Razor words
Cutting,slashing,exposing sinew nerves
The flesh of response
The cursed look
Erupting rage
The corkscrew shout
Pulling,drawing poison
From you very soul
The innards of your being

Vengence born on your tounge
Dies on you lips

Redemtion
The salty regret
Of speaking with your mouth
Not with you heart
The ricochet recoil of sorrow
Pleading for recognition
Through misty foam filled eyes

But you accept chaos
You have a way with words

Jon,

Very powerful expression here and very well written.

Sounds like the person who wrote this has a definite way with words also.

"Vengence born on your tongue
Dies on your lips"
Now those are great words. Very good words indeed, Jon!
