"Everybody has a dark side. Some of us are better at hiding it than others" This flank I guard that shadows daub So precious, rich and dark, Deep ciphers of my heart ... Yet some of it is feigned and hemmed In masquerades of spark ... Thus granted ... a la carte. ~ 2nd Place ~ in the "Keep It Brief" Poetry Contest, Nette Onclaud, Judge & Sponsor.
