shallow can’t survive depth
with courage he was never blessed
fearing the threat of being undressed
vulnerability a risk
to all he has suppressed
.
pushed far below his silky allure
which draws the youth to his door
a radiance they cannot ignore
wide eyes excited to explore
persuaded by promise of skin adored
.
shallow lives with eternal tension
terrified to experience intimate connection
in fear of judgement and of questions
about the youth
he’s immorally quenching
.
youth is ignorant and unprepared
it dives head first without a care
splashing on the surface unaware
of thick silt hidden
beneath bright glare
.
shallow can’t relate to depth
for in deceit she’s not adept
depth bares her scars without regret
not hiding pain nor drowning shame
her truth is shallow’s threat
