Laying the Foundations

To write to ensnare
to weave a web of intrigue
is it for one’s self?
I’d rather be the devil
than steal true loves innocence.

harry, I can't remember if I wished you a happy new year, but you are someone who truly deserves it. Thanks for all your support of my poetry last year. I hope this year we will both be brimming with poetry.
