Darkness

Light plays over me
A gentle touch
Luscious
Succulent
Inadequate

Is it possible to be both
A sprite
Born of sun
And a creature of the night
Dark blood surging

Can one have
A heart of gold
Filled with dark desires
Beating
A Siren’s song

Demons nip and bite
Out of control
Reckless
A rocky shore in the distance
Promising sweet release

The sun plays
Over darkness and shadow
