cedar

light is heavy

shadows illuminate

sweetness acrid

bitterness bliss

excruciating ecstasy

devilish delight

wicked wanting

prosaic pain

geometric thirst

fathomless height

sharp curves

soft angles

sacred profanity

Intrusive rhyme bothers me, except as a weapon.

Formalist/ New Critical are my guiding theories.

My words are mine, not a robot’s.
