Tenebrous Friend
We revel in the light
Hang stings of sparkling bulbs
to help us forget that darkness
exists, to erase our fears of unknown
matter. We turn our backs on
the night and worship the sun
How quickly we forget that nightfall
is the one friend that will keep our secrets
d’Verse Poets Pub – Quadrille #166. “I Like Candy”
Candied
I’ve been candied
A hard shell has been poured
over my soft center, protecting it
from constant poking and prodding
Hiding in the creamy sweetness
of my heart is a tiny morsel of
hardness, waiting to defend it from
any who reach too deeply
