We Prefer Not To Know
perhaps it is artistic
to employ metaphors
as a seductive tease
leaving the door ajar
for multiple sequels
conjured by thoughts
in an imperfect realm
stained by feral forms
feeding off innocence
exploitation the norm
flame of love reveals
truth without mirrors
truth is unapologetic
and so inconvenient
objects within dreams
prefer not to recognise
simplicity of what is
visible only in silence
light pays not homage
to imagined darkness
love employs no force
thus love and light wait
for as long as it takes
till all embryos awake
