Complicated Words of Prose and Verse
Long tongue-twisted words of ambiguity
Difficult to understand
Ambiguous words-those double expressions.
Without any shame
'The Oxford Dictionary' acknowledges their meanings;
Simplistic and plain.
Words that speak of sight, smell, taste, touch
Structured words with candour and rhythm
Those stanzas of figurative language
Evoked imagery erected strong and firm
Like Adonis-tragedy or comedy?
Prose of love, lust, and deceit
A trope of blossomed metaphors that pollinates
One’s mind of another’s life experiences with all its antidotes
From the hand of a parched tongue, an eye for beauty
And with an open mind
Immortality stained on paper...
“It’s cruel to be kind.”
by Ian Herd
