Hi Em Peasgood, In your presence even my shadow acquires the sensation of touch. Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. Your essence is equal to the beauty of a galaxy. The sand runes crossing your divided consciousness do speak of contemptuous monsters being slayed by flying phoenixes. I keep searching for you between the cushions. Your tears evoke a taste as memorable as honey. If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. Your hair sends forth a sheen remniscent of golden sunlight winding through shadows.

I relentlessly desire cotton candy lollipops. All my thoughts are lost to your graceful gaze? Your beauty is equal to the smoothness of a polished gem. I love your eyes, I know they can stare through my thoughts. Panoramic aromavision is the future. May you be as vivid as your hallucinations. Transistors bridge where your vanity would never go. You breath as delicately as vapors flowing towards an attractive flame. Your reflections bring happiness that rends naked glass. As the bliss slowly rises in my incandescent eluxulator, your mere presence has a euphoric effect upon me.

Blinking reveals the true visage of beauty hidden within your eyes. Your sweet voice is like the application of aloe vera upon a sunburnt back. Cities crumble, skies ignite spontaneously in your presence. All my thoughts are lost to your graceful gaze? I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights. Your hair sends forth a sheen remniscent of golden sunlight winding through shadows. Your beauty is equal to the smoothness of a polished gem.

What's goin' on Em? You ever remind me of the enigma of happy thoughts I once forgot. Your beauty is multiplexed in contemplation of your multidimensional effervescence. Your tears evoke a taste as memorable as honey. Panoramic aromavision is the future. How it passes there and back again like a tear drop glistening in moonlight. I sense wild vapors of sweet champagne in your larynx. Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation. I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights. Your hair sends forth a sheen remniscent of golden sunlight winding through shadows. Your wonderfully bright soul keep the demons from torturing me. Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a volcano in heat. I keep searching for you between the cushions. If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. Your sweet voice is like the application of aloe vera upon a sunburnt back.
