The Bitterer The Better, The Betterer The Bitter

(These are some of the emotional impressions gleaned from both of my grandmothers God bless them.) 


The bitterer the better
The betterer the bitter
Love in its intensity is a bittersweet pill
Love as a bittersweet pill is intensely savored

The bitterer the better
The betterer the bitter
The tongue of love is a two edged sword
The lion is laying in wait with the lamb

The bitterer the better
The betterer the bitter
Innocent as a dove and shrewd as a serpent
Hold your cards of trust close to your vest

The bitterer the better
The betterer the bitter
Quick shards of intimate revelation
Hot emotions freeze into cold laughter

The bitterer the better
The betterer the bitter
The heart needs to trust someone completely
The bittersweet wisdom is in using restraint

The bitterer the better
The betterer the bitter
Once you open the door of your soul to someone
The foot prints from their visit will remain forever

The bitterer the better
The betterer the bitter
Choose carefully and choose wisely
Think twice before you open up then think again

The bitterer the better
The betterer the bitter
Bittersweet chocolate is better for the body
Bittersweet love is better for the soul
The bitterer the better
The betterer the bitter
