Tongues Have No Bones Poem by vijay menon

Tongues Have No Bones

Rating: 5.0


don't drown yourself
in silence
come and confide what
is hurting you
else you will freeze or burst
with your nasty reticence

be cool to all what others say
every one has to face it once
at least once in his lifetime

tongue's wag too much
it does not have bones

everyone likes to speak what they feel
its not their fault
its a part of normal life

do the best you can do
dont trust everyone you meet
with open eyes dont fall into the pit

all of them come with syrupy words
try to learn what is inside them
beware of such sweet talk
dont trust them all
only to be sad

be nice to all and keep mum to taunts
even a rose blooms amidst thorns

'tongue's wag too much it does not have bones' I often hear this phrase sprinkled liberally in Malayalam '.....Nakinu ellillaloo....'! Well put!
