H.A.

Hazel eyes, bright smile.
Candied apple.
Sweet sweet succulence.
Collapsing from temptation.
Oh, Snow White darling.
Am I your poison apple?
Filling your body with my toxicity.
I want to know
What you have seen with your kind eyes.
The tears hidden so deep behind your radiant smile.
I want to know every inch of you,
Candied apple.

Does she know? A most excellent poem about an attraction that may go either way.~ Geezer.

Wowww. I'm really impressed by the juxtaposed metaphors. 'Poison apple' and 'candied apple'. I find allusions to fairy tales a bit over-done often, but I think this originality really redeemed it for me. And on top of that, the fairy tale allusion does make sense for the theme.
