Sweet shadow dancer,
split second spark.
A face in the flicker
blinds an innocent dark.

Sweet shadow dancer
spreads like a cancer.
A sly, hidden snicker
twists my innocent dark.


The author's comments:
I wanted to try a real rhyme scheme this time.
Innocence tends to be portrayed as light... I view it differently.
Knowing can hurt, but is it better to be in the dark? I can see it from both view points. I hope you can, too.

Don't try to fix what isn't broken

Yeah, It's got such a fluent way to it. I love this so much and the twist it has to it, like you said in your quote. I want to read it over and over, that's how you know it's a good one. :)

Too much isn't enough.

Hi! Again, it was a pleasure to read your work. This is the second piece I read by you, and I love it just as much, which really proves your talent! It's a very nice piece, I particularly like the sonorities, the alliteration, the rhythm... It makes it flow very nicely :)

I loved the rhyming scheme, especially the "Sweet shadow dancer...spreads like a cancer," very clever and it flowed well. Your description and subtlety was outstanding. Great work.
