IVY and PEARS ~ OR IS IT QUITE AS IT SEEMS?

The Sunday Muse #41

Thank you once again, Carrie, for your prompt, intended to get our cerebral hemispheres working, even on a Sunday.
As a young man I was very loathed to go out with a girl called Ivy. She was so clingy . . . lol

Look deeper,

Inwardly and beware. 

All looks calm and innocent

With not a trace of malice,

Or evil, or anything but sweetness.

Or so it seems

The fruit is succulent,

Nutritious, delicious,

Full of good intentions

To every unsuspecting soul.

Or so it seems.

Light prevails over darkness

With shimmering victorious highlights.

Shade is under its firm control,

Obeying its master in false submission.

Or so it seems.

Yet darkness threatens to arise

With deadly poison and a merciless death grip,

Smothering and suffocating

All who touch it, or live close by.

Or so it seems.

Evil bides its time to play its winning hand,

Taking hold on all with such relentlessness.

It's roots run deep with immortality

And shouts dominance to weakness and subjection.

Or so it seems.

Enjoy your mastery, together with your rule of terror

This is for now and you know this cannot last.

You will be removed and killed.

Your victims will prevail to be set free.

 . . . . light and fruit once more will bless us.
