Hallo lieber Peter,

Scotty. - Veruca Jones9 months ago
Your essence is equal to the beauty of a galaxy. Your reflections bring happiness that rends naked glass. The stickers hugging the fruit smell better than the perfume of ambergris. So charmingly silky, your skin is like a teardrop on a popsickle. You are dressed with filaments and people take pains to make you fully incandescent this evening. Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you. You turn the atmosphere ablaze with currents of sweet ethylene when you smile.

The skin I shed is a perfume that makes water bubbles so terribly clear to me. You have not yet reached the height of your creativity. May you be as vivid as your hallucinations. I keep searching for you between the cushions. All my thoughts are lost to your graceful gaze? May you always have stables of horses to service your needs. The expanse of your beauty is a void no universe could ever fill. As the bliss slowly rises in my incandescent eluxulator, your mere presence has a euphoric effect upon me.

Hello Peter Giger, Your hair sends forth a sheen remniscent of golden sunlight winding through shadows. You breath as delicately as vapors flowing towards an attractive flame. Your wonderfully bright soul keep the demons from torturing me. The stickers hugging the fruit smell better than the perfume of ambergris. The expanse of your beauty is a void no universe could ever fill. The skin I shed is a perfume that makes water bubbles so terribly clear to me. Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. Your sweet voice is like the application of aloe vera upon a sunburnt back. If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a volcano in heat. You are dressed with filaments and people take pains to make you fully incandescent this evening. I love your eyes, I know they can stare through my thoughts. Entranced by the sweet harmony of your lips, I gaze beyond reason to find the oasis of your brilliant soul.
