You may be sweet alright..
A cookie of my flavor..
But will I yearn forever
for your heart?
for your heart’s favor?
You may be sweet alright..
But not without an aftertaste
so bitter and tart.
A day may come when two of us
are forced to part..

It’s true.
You are a mystery.. You are a riddle.
But does that mean I’ll let you play me now
indefinitely like a fiddle?
A fellow ocean you may be..
tumultuous and stormy on the surface,
but in your deepness still.
But will your salty waters fill my lungs?
I reckon not..
I don’t believe they will.
The essence of a puzzle
lies in the way its pieces come together.
And on my scales your heart is light..
So light.. Much lighter than a feather.

The Devil’s kiss may be so sweet,
so soothing to you
on a dark and lonesome moonless night.
But will you ever get to find out?
Maybe not..
perhaps you’ll only ever get to feel
The Devil’s sweet goodbye.
The Devil’s bite.
