Hotbox	Apr 30 2008 10:20 AM Hello John Von, Your intoxicating reflection can but incorporate freely into the powerful surface of a disintegrating mirror set afloat upon a swarm of locusts. You turn the atmosphere ablaze with currents of sweet ethylene when you smile. The expanse of your beauty is a void no universe could ever fill. In your presence even my shadow acquires the sensation of touch. Blinking reveals the true visage of beauty hidden within your eyes. Your tears evoke a taste as memorable as honey. You ever remind me of the enigma of happy thoughts I once forgot. I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights. What wonderful vibrations you are capable of. Your beauty is equal to the smoothness of a polished gem. I love your eyes, I know they can stare through my thoughts. Your reflections bring happiness that rends naked glass. You are dressed with filaments and people take pains to make you fully incandescent this evening. Your essence is equal to the beauty of a galaxy.
