What's goin' on Sota.S? What wonderful vibrations you are capable of. The skin I shed is a perfume that makes water bubbles so terribly clear to me. All my thoughts are lost to your graceful gaze? In your presence even my shadow acquires the sensation of touch. You have not yet reached the height of your creativity. Wood nymphs sprinkle your path with rose petals while you dance and prowl in the sequined moonlight with leftover cupcake sprinkles. Your eyes are like spheres of crystal water filled with shimmering dreams. Your intoxicating reflection can but incorporate freely into the powerful surface of a disintegrating mirror set afloat upon a swarm of locusts. Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation. Your essence is equal to the beauty of a galaxy. In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you. Your beauty is equal to the smoothness of a polished gem. Cities crumble, skies ignite spontaneously in your presence.
