Irony is a gift. Often won at cost. Taste is slowly with a smile that remembers.

If you're going to scale the ladder of circumstance to lofty heights that don't care what perdition tastes like. Bring a parachute. The fall is lengthy.

We are the answer to the questions long sought. Searching for bliss in wayward corners of facades and charades. The oaths sworn that weren't worth the dirt underfoot. Taking the lessons, committing it to memory, keeping the faith. A hand found mine, my love shining in the dark.

The soft filler of life that doesn't taste like stagecraft is a blessing.

My eyes give out my heart to the right sunrise. That warms and doesn't burn, heat that you invite into your house for coffee. It is an easy embrace that remembers politeness when the weather turns rough. Which knows the way to find the sacred on the lips of honest tandem souls.

I see white butterflies in clusters of two across the way. Spinning around together, rising up in the air in courtship rituals. Some come down in a pair, others by themselves. Then, back into the air, they go in the same dance, not always with their last partner. I smiled. That's life.

I didn't need rainbows and galaxies beaming from your eyes for me. All I ask is honest regard, truthful words, passionate repast, lingering longing that is as insatiable as your hands when they find me.

My feet traverse the expanse of your loamy earth. The land you asked me to cultivate for a bountiful harvest that carries the celebration of your embrace. Your softness on the fragile fallen leaves to come. Rolling in the mud we leave our impressions in. A flood could make us clean. But not yet.

Do honour to the ghosts in the peripheral plane of your notice. The dregs of humanity that people forgot but time remembered. There is gold in the straw, wisdom in the alleyways. You won't find a pariah amongst the loss. Only truth.

Nourish your light in the span of my embrace. I am soil to grow in, rain to cleanse the toil away. A preface that had the audacity to become a novel. One you read slowly and make notes in the margins. The ink of our heartsblood.

Though I know not your struggle, I see your pain. I care.

Stop selling yourself to finite souls full of facades that don't love you. You're not alone. You're more than a brand or trend or something left in the dust. Carry your light with a smirk that screams defiance at your door. Your worth belongs to you.

My desire is alchemy before it changes into science. A flame imperishable, a sky without borders, a parable that altered your life.
