A shark sniffs the air,
seeking its prey.
Smiles are deceit,
hugs weave illusions,
until its grip tightens,
and it bites, no matter
how fiercely you fight.
A shark’s aim
is to extinguish the light!
To trust a shark
is to tread blindly
into a darkened alley,
where shadows feast
on the unsuspecting.
The poet delights in reading and writing poetry, finding joy in nature and observing the beauty of life.
