Written for Prompt #475 at staringout.

You've drawn on me
with invisible ink;
etches, scribbles, crooked
blots of basted black crisscross
my veneer.
Obsolete faults burst
splintering sincerity's charade -
profanity climbs out,
slinking
and you're seared into my soul.
My thoughts are tarnished;
loneliness pollutes.

Today is sparkly
Sunshine shimmies through the shade,
giggling,
sprite sparks of satisfaction shining
here (and there) -
afternoon tastes sweet.
We breathe in candy air
sprinkles of sapphire sanctuary,
sultry summer silence,
seams of silver shadows.
Sunburst sensuality
caresses;
we are content.
