Pair Bonding
“Requires two participants of equal readiness and mutual desire.
One partner cannot progress without investment and equal interest from the other.
I can’t believe these videos are still putting women in a lockdown stasis box, rather than encouraging them to act naturally.”

“These relationship videos are misleading.
They are putting all the pressure on women!”
Justice
Is wise.
Sacred
A queen knows how to rule
And to care for her people.

I’d rather live alone
Than live unatoned.

Dear Alex,
“Are we the same in our tendencies?
Do we fit together in our needs?
What I’d give to find out, if you’d concede.”

Male Aggression
“I do not like pushy or lewd male advances.
When I find my one, we’ll both know the answer.”
Dark Matter
“I miss the black background from my other blogs, but at least where I write, my eyes are soothed.”

“I’m TIRED.”
Hypervigilance
Nothing bleeds the system
Quite like fighting off demons
The Crux
No it isn’t easy
To find answers
In a complexed society
Applauding debauchery
With markets flooded
By avarice abusing sin
Won’t find a cure there
Where participants spin
No snake oil to appease
Nor balm to soothe skin
And aches with such hunger
Shield fangs from their grins
We Are Told
To not discuss truths in “polite company.”

A Mother’s Love
The chemicals hit again
Combining withdrawals
Indicating she was infected
From the advanced heroine
Love’s trust having delved
Trying to save relationship
Discarded without recompense
Like a whore’s need left begging
Cast into poverty among
Liars, thieves, and beggars
She fought against sludge
Clogging conscript arteries
Refusing access or pursuit
Determined they’d overcome
Hell’s damnation unasked for
Would not take children’s blood
Kissed
Every wound
Would be
(Thread The Needle – Sleep Token)
Open Wounds
“There’s a place one cannot travel alone without being consumed by violence.”
(Fields Of Elation – Sleep Token)
Underground
The feast of
Many flavors
Once sampled
Infects blood
Craving skin
Beg-itching
Develops new
Vulnerability
For receiving
Mistreatment
Just for another
Sip of the divine
It does not matter
Which plate tried
Each chemistry
Creates desire
Glorious if
Partnered
Hell if one’s
Cast aside
(Love Will Lead Us Home – Oryn Etheria)
Exchanging The Years

Paradise
The phrase “nature abhors a vacuum” is
An observation of its attempt to heal life
If humans stopped destructively consuming
The planet could repair and restore balance.
Pain
If it feels like you are
Losing your sanity
Stick quick
To an anchor
Tethered to
This plane
Legend
The planet
Was dying
Souls were
Being taken
To humans
Rapture as
Unknown
Predation
Warrior
Response
Restored
Balance
Enforcing
Retreat
Of fang
And claw
So Get Ready, Beloved
Candidly Yours
“It sucks that callous people are able to conscript time without reciprication and hurt others in their off-handedness.”
Query
She had thought that she had seen him before, walking alone into town, and had wanted to call out to him.
But she had not been sure that he would welcome attention, and so drove off to her other destinations, regretfully.
Cupping

Rights Of Passage
The adults had warned her to forget about the painting.
If anything, they said, she should only remember the conflict portrayed in the man’s face – and keep that as a warning reminder to never venture into exploring her ancestry’s history.
But one thing she knew had became undeniably clear to her the moment she had seen the man and the woman he carried in his arms.
The woman had had such a look of pure and content happiness in her slumber – like all of the world’s cares had been removed from her now smoothed brow, where only the faintest of worry lines could still be seen in the dimmed corridor lighting.
Somehow, she knew that this joy was because the woman had been given the choice to choose her own destiny.
And she had chosen to be with the man she loved – finding the choice to be worth any risks that the adults were warning her of.

Disclosure
Until my eyes
Behold you
Here, now
In my life
It will be difficult
To regulate how
I feel about you
In your absence.

“I am stoked that now there are colored stickers to place on the neck to help identify chord component placements, but this still seems visually overstimming.”
