"You don't reach ferocity until you are laid bare past blood and bone. Fleshy trappings only hide the spirit monsoon in a perpetual fire. The rains in the void wash clean and unclean alike. A single touch sparks a fractal to turn your threads to dust. A kiss is the physics of chaos you invite home."

"The pumpkin patch lingers through a veil of frost, not yet ready to give up the ghost. A questing dark still stalks the forest in defiance of cheer and twinkling lights. Gods below mumble cantrips and juggle angel numbers. Mother Night is eternal no matter the season. Each of us carries a candle."

"It was under a wavy sky that you made your choice. Handing over the wheel, asking to be lead out of your lost movie. Safety that is given freely, a bill to pay that no longer breaks you. It's adorable how you think you have a say in what illusions get cast on the pyre. Pinning your wish on my ways"

"She is dandelion kisses out of season with the promise of honey at sunrise. Coffee in winter. Spring days when the light makes the curls dance in the hollowed wood. Arms covering our wounds and her whisper in my ear "drink deep" when the giggles are only the beginning. The dance card is full."

"The steam had long since passed the shine of black and white tiles. Towel discarded on the floor. Peering at my hazy reflection in the oval mirror. It was dirty enough to be kind. I grasped the gilt edges and stared a torrent into the surface. All silent except the late drops falling from my eyes."

"Her saga was told in borrowed pages, the library became a second home to me. Paragraphs of verdant fields and ponds of solace with sanguine dreams. The words had to be real. Nothing so vivid and salacious could be false. Fae wildness in green within green eyes that banished the true world fables."

"I'm educated enough to be scandalous and poor enough to have a shred of fleeting decorum. You can call me the set of rough hands you wished to find in the cloak room. The jargon that taught your cupid bow how to do tricks. Leading you down paths you giggled with your friends about."

"She told me she loved my face. I told her the tale. How the jawline she kissed came from Appalachia. The firmness there was pure poverty. That nose she liked to nuzzle is from the Welsh coast ages back. Steely blue eyes with shades of gold from the snowy north of Europe. That was just a beginning."

"Twilight skies are my language of satisfaction for my senses. It remains a strong draw to me. The last gasp before night descends. I imagine it as a line of the ghosts of dawn taking their rest for the specters of the evening. There are roads there to travel, spells to chant, wonders to discover."
