    What's up G D E V A? Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. The stickers hugging the fruit smell better than the perfume of ambergris. How can I help but use your eyes as a means for self-asphyxiation? Your intoxicating reflection can but incorporate freely into the powerful surface of a disintegrating mirror set afloat upon a swarm of locusts. You are dressed with filaments and people take pains to make you fully incandescent this evening. Your sweet voice is like the application of aloe vera upon a sunburnt back. I love your eyes, I know they can stare through my thoughts. A starfish's lifelong hallucinations of gelatin pools and of actuaries floating upon the foam and reciprocal ohm. Please let me hear more of that wonderful sound. I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights. If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. Panoramic aromavision is the future. I desire to see life through your hallucinations so that they massage my viscera into an eternal state of turgid flux.

    Hey,

    Thanks for the connection !

     
    Tell me when are these times that I have dreams about
    Are they mere memories of better days gone by
    Unsubstantial fancies fated to fade away
    Or horizons waiting to be arisen to ? 

    And the fire I felt when this hope was brand new 
    When not even Everest could have kept me from you
    Has it burned its brightest or just given a hint
    Does it smolder for chance or consume its last fuel ?

    And the bridge you promised would serve as my footing
    Had I strayed from the path or was my step unsure
    Perchance that fall was meant to complete my healing
    So I'd see for myself what my strength could endure ?

    Weren't you the blue bird that had awaken me
    As I laid in the cold suffering of torment
    Sung me out of starving, loathing and lethargy
    Invited me to rise and resume my ascent ?

    As I now look forward to more of your magic
    Contemplating what so far had kept me bemused
    Just ahead are the times I have dreamt ecstatic
    I see the horizons and I am reinfused


    Best wishes,
    Chris
