Tarantula

Down in the shadows of your deepest secrets I sleep next to the precepts you hold most dear Your heart is in my province hour upon hour I shiver when you feel the cold, Everything you say I hear Like a bomb and its fuse, We bring bright light But I could be a devil to you I could bite like a tarantula Right through the skin And leave my poison dream Deliciously Unsuspecting Protecting you from all harm Except perhaps from reasoning
