Riddles for dVerse #poetry

I.
Carver of mountains
cover of distant moons
expansive
lightest when hardest
to crack
only takes
the subtle trickle of
a tear

II.
Deceives the deceiver
beguiles the believer
fuels the fire of self-devouring flame
burns all without reason
to self-love is treason
pleased to meet you:
hope you guess my name*

III.
Longest when night nears ending
almost to madness sending
the afflicted
worrier, or lover
alone, seeking escape beneath the cover
of darkness
numbering their flocks in vain.

Written for dVerse

Tonight, Björn has asked us to write riddles in verse form. I think mine are perhaps too easy, but it’s a good challenge to try and conceal the answer. I am sure I will struggle with everyone else’s riddles! I will provide the answers in the comments, but please have a go at guessing first. And join in at dVerse for more!
