My Love
Do not let the frenzy
Overpower your will
You have won my
Heart’s affections
Rest, recover, and
Steady your course
I am here waiting
Ready to embrace
Your soul’s desire to give
My love is yours in return
(Habibty – Hassan Shakosh)
Do You Understand?
“I want no other…
I love you.”

(Jane Eyre A&E ending)
Dear Friend,
Your viscerals feed
Opening closed veins
To forgotten nutrients
As bleed from desire to
(I Wanna Rock – Twisted Sister)
Dear Friend,
“I cannot see and hear everything clearly, but what I do comes through stunningly.
‘You’ve got me up in a frenzy’ – ‘ but not like before when I was empty.'”

(Take My Breath Away – Berlin)
Oh…
“It’s so on.”
Ping-Pong
(Chuckles in the dark)
“Your serve, Darlin’.”
Dear Friend,
Don’t fade to always black
Reach for me instead
I will catch you
Yeah, I See You
“The only bad baddy spinning eyes in the room…”

Sunrise (Pride & Prejudice)
(Senorita – Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello)
Dear Friend,
“As you rocket far beyond the surface, I plummet as descend.
Oh, to be able to clasp hands to catch, stabilize, and help rebalance each other!”
(London Thunder – Foals)
Despair
Something that lurks
Waiting to take hold
Working advantage
Failure
That which is
Beyond control
Dear Friend,
“Once you have gained what you desire, do you know how to cherish and keep nurturing it?
These things are often not straightforward and require intuition, reassessments, and recallibrations to mutual benefit.
Evolution.”

Dear Friend,

Make it rain.”
(Lay Your Hands On Me – Peter Gabruel)
Dear Friend,
“I hope that you saw the song that I wrote titled ‘No Other’ and the song that I posted following it that I have since removed.
They weren’t really for the world to see, but were meant to be between you and me.”
(I Want You – Stephen Sanchez)
I Guess They’ll Believe Me
“If I’m out on the streets…
I won’t go into a shelter.
Believe me.”
(Lord Is It Mine? – Supertramp)
Dear Friend,
It’s ok you held on for as long as you did
I would’ve – and did do – the same as you
I Am Not
“A demon to be fu**ed with!”
Sharp teeth and claws bared while roaring.

(Us – MOVEMENT)
Vessel
What am I becoming?
Vast universes inside
Pressing to stretch wide
Revealing hidden secrets
I can’t yet see nor have
The strength to confide
Interference
“I thought that the goal was to become centered in one’s body.
But I keep getting crowded out by pain and dysfunction.
Elders kept telling me that I have a higher calling – and I kept feeling like they were trying to bend me to their influences, no matter what agenda was being promoted.
Yet how are these current circumstances also not trying to force me into the spiritual realm?
I tell you – I won’t go there!
Not without my Protector.”
Dear Friend,
“I’m not as extreme where ny passions extend…I would love, cherish, and help heal – rather than try to hurt you.”
Through The Shattered Light
(With You – Klur)
Dear Friend,
Do I wish that I loved you?
That’s a question to unpack
I do not need to wish when
Answer’s been self evident
Of course I do it was always you
Waiting for your eyes to see me
More to the point would be
Is it your wish to love me?
(My Love – Paul McCartney, 1973)
Dear Friend,
Don’t be a ship that passes in the night
Be the armada which guides me home
(Senses Of Time – Avalon)
Dear Friend,
“Are we reaching to pull each other through?”
Dear Friend,

I believe in you.”

Dear Friend,
“Will you halt this eclipse in me?”

(Sleep Token reference)
Laid To Rest
“There will be no UI funding, but at least (at last) I can put that conglomerate zombie to ground, dead and buried.
Rest in peace, you tyrannical haunt.
I’ll light a flame in your honor.”
(Escape – Kx5, LoKii Remix)
Darling,
“Is it really you, or am I going mad?”
Dear Friend,
No matter how we feel
We’ve got a taste for one another
And a few good years to kill
No matter what is real
It seems that even in Arcadia
You walk beside me still
—-
(Sleep Token lyrics from “Even In Arcadia”)
Dear Friend,
“I pull at the chains…and I’m breaking.”
Dear Friend,
“I find it to be unfair that we have both in the past felt compelled to censor ourselves in order to retain what meager rations hinting at the faintest specks of love that we were portioned.
Yet, our endurance and fortitude against great challenges where weaker wills would have perished speaks well of us – and it is to be hoped that we have now deserved to receive much better treatments.”
