Carpe Noctem and Reminders from the Red Book

First skin now

Is my love for you.

Shed at times

and in places

Changed by the renew

and sames,

Ever true.

Like a summer night sticks to your flesh

and gets into your lungs,

That is you.

Garden incarcerate

Slumber in aroma

Thoughts of exit

Never occur.

My psychic gypsy

Wander

and know me.

To love you

and you alone:

Perfect fiction.

Fiction to be gladly wrapped in

(for a while)

***

Earthly archetype

For celestial thing

Twice observed

Humility brings

Breaking from this gravity

I stop seeing the same light

Bent back my way

And the night

Fails to frighten

But brings sleep

And anticipation

For new suns.

***

From crayons to perfume

From caution to faith

To [you]

With love.

Merci, Em, El, El, E.

γνῶθι σεαυτόν

Today I learned

(or maybe remembered)

That what's important

Isn't always easy.
