Apples and Boundaries

I think that some words are like apples:


An apple enclosed in its skin,


hides flesh glowingly beautiful,deliciously succulent


But - when that same substance is exposed to the air,


public for all to see,it becomes -


Darkened. Ugly, Putrid


So too, there are words,


so beautiful and enticing,


in a private skin enclosing two alone,


But - when used beyond that magic line, are-


Darkened, Ugly, Putrid
