Bonbon

Truffles - Sepia Pictures, Images and Photos

Used to be I was nice
a bonbon
in brevity tasted, easily swallowed
or bitten piece by piece
then my core devoured
best to savor my soul
but life's submersions transform
drenching and dissolving sweetness
drips
gradually melting
revealing truth
unsweetened
natural
raw
slightly bitter
unpalatable
indigestible
inedible
real
Used to be I was nice

  22. Myrna,

    I read your comment on my latest post "Something New" and I have to say that over the few months that we have been commenting back and forth, I really feel I have found a friend in you. I just wanted you to know that I really appreciate your encouragement. Thank you so much for that. Have a wonderful day my friend,
    Kristen
