Feted on film, celebrated in song,
I’m the “It feels good—who cares if it’s wrong?”
Publicly pious, your mouth denies me.
Ah, but your wicked heart satisfies me.
You’ll be mine.I’m the “It feels good—who cares if it’s wrong?”
Publicly pious, your mouth denies me.
Ah, but your wicked heart satisfies me.
Soon.

ReplyDeletebut you wrote him so well, it's hard to resist him and hard to resist you when you write this well.
Damn.
;) TGIF Ivy.
Thank you, Kir! You are too sweet--I love that about you.
DeleteI hope you have a devilishly awesome weekend!
This definitely raced my heart beat, Ivy - I’m the “It feels good—who cares if it’s wrong?”. It is too good!
ReplyDeleteThanks, TIZ! That's my favorite line.
DeleteBTW, congrats on your well-deserved first place!
How can we resist when you put it like that? Love how the focus of your lines reach back to him, very nicely done. Thanks for linking up and have a fab weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. :) I'm loving the fun prompts this month. Good stuff!
DeleteLove the incongruity between words and the heart. Creepy photo, by the way!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janna! This prompt made me think of people who claim to hate the devil but act a lot like him. Haha! As soon as I saw that photo, I knew it was perfect.
Delete"Publicly pious" exactly.
ReplyDeleteI have to make a confession. I started posting my entry on my phone. When I wrote that line, I typed "Pubically pious." Didn't catch it until I saw it on my laptop. Changes the meaning a bit, don't you think? :)
DeleteWow! I really liked it.
ReplyDelete-HA
Thank you, HA! :)
DeleteThis is a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Draug! :)
DeleteNice :D
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteDouble dang, Ivy! Loved this-and the ending gave me shivers!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, my friend!
Thanks, my friend. :)
DeleteHope you have a wicked awesome week!
Ohhhh. Your rhyme serves you so well here. Sharp, and just excellent.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words, WG!
DeleteI really like this. And all too true, is it not?
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Very true. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks!
DeleteThis is so good Ivy! And I just love those last two lines.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suzanne. I was hoping the last two lines would pack a punch.
DeleteIn the hands of an excellent writer loke you, there is a certain economy to the language that helps to add layers of meaning to each word. Like others have mentioned, I liked "publically pious" and, well, I like "pubically pious", too. It all works in your talented hands, Ivy. :)
ReplyDeleteThat would be...."an excellent writer like you", not "loke you. Geesh! My iPad keyboard has just about had all it can take. :)
DeleteTom, thank you for the lovely, lovely comment! Your words gave me a much-needed smile this morning. And I'm glad you enjoyed my Freudian slip of the fingers. Haha!
DeleteGreat take on the prompt .
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteConfidence is so overrated.
ReplyDeleteHaha. OK.
DeleteHe is a perverse pleasure all right! And that eye says it all! :D
ReplyDeleteThe eye is creepy, yet I'm strangely drawn to it.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Beware the wicked heart. Great piece of writing.
ReplyDeleteYes. What comes out of the mouth doesn't always match what's in the heart. Thank you!
DeleteLove that it's the mouth that denies "me". Wicked good, Ivy.
ReplyDeleteThanks, my friend! :)
DeleteIn the end he get his dues... always
