My poem, Revelation

[e-jewell]

Before I begin, a suggestion to mods.... divide this forum up into seperate subforums. Art, poetry, writing, and ideas, I would think. But that's your choice.

Sweet is the sugar and sharp are the thorns

Pretty and deadly they are

And every soft creature has venom-filled horns

Every light face has a scar

Death is the toll for every bright joy

And sleep is the prize of each thought

Sugary flowers, seductive and coy,

Destroy every truth that we've sought.

I died in the light, decayed in the night,

My solitude is my salvation.

Tightly confined

Within my own mind

Is the one place to find

Revelation.
