He calls me wicked
and I smile –
tucking his words in my purse –
knowing I’ll look at them
when I’m not quite feeling
like myself –
when sweetness takes over
and my darkness gets swept
under a rug.
I’ll put the sugar in a corner
and scout the house for my shadow
until I find it,
and the dark is once again mine
to cherish and to grope.

The Indigo Girls sing: “Well darkness has a hunger that’s insatiable.” Yet so elegantly, like a lullaby?, express our own hunger for darkness.

Wonderfully entertaining and naughty. A tempestuous woman blending kindness with sexual prowess. A poem whose author could only be named Rose!
…and now for a microbe of concern…
Couldn’t you have substituted stevia with the word sugar!!! It is so hard to help people alter current lifestyles with all y’all poets adding sugar to people already consumed with too much sugar. If the poem absolutely had to have “sugar”, then my recommendation (which for the record was given bipartisan support in the Senate and Congress as well as the President) would have been using its undercover name: C12H22O11.
Your attention to this small detail would be appreciated in future postings. 😀

Lol. Dr. J, you have no idea how much I miss you when you’re not here to comment! I sigh and mope then my husband feeds me sugar, and I’m ok for awhile. Kidding! I would love to write about stevia instead of sugar, but there’s just something more sexy and forbidden in sugar that imitation sweetness just can’t achieve 😦 But know that whenever I mention sugar in my blog, I’m really thinking of stevia😉
Thank you for your comments — I always have a fun time with your words💘

I thought you took your shadow with sugar and maybe a cookie. You always make darkness sound light, which thinking about it, makes no sense at all.

Well, shadows tend to be very light in weight, so your comment does make a bit of sense if seen in this “light.” Haha! xo

That’s true. I guess if a shadow went on a diet, it could be light and dark at the same time.
