Altar regrets; please don’t alter my texts – or delete my last request; as lust requests you do what feels good, but it all becomes tomorrow’s bad mistake, dressed out in yesterday’s breath. At the front of my books – my body language in bold font is what I’ll flaunt; though at times, I’m not so bold at being myself... Physical or digital – _spiritual or literal_ – loaning some faith on empty days, loading some company when I feel I’m moving through life at my lonesome, feeling loathsome. But take your time; write your own books if you want to – just don’t forget the lessons you’ve read. Despite being blue-ticked in person, my presence and influence still get left on read... I can’t claim ownership of everything; crying for it all, till my eyes are painted red. As each good word you’ve received is a divine gift – to defy the rifts; to train and define your divine gifts, learn to prune the sickness from your vine so new creation can live... value the chance to forgive — make every reason solid, for choosing to live.

Altar(ed) Words
Seeker, tell me— what is gold to one who sees only silver? Am I the fool for trading, or is she blind to balancing silver with gold? Even knowing this, still, I throw my gold upon the scales— because love is a gift, not a debt to be repaid. But heed this, Seeker— love is not a bargain; it is a mirror. Only love must redeem love.

Fool’s Gift: Love Without Debt
__Sinking tears –__  feelings don’t fall,   they crash    like glass hearts     meeting pavement. Your chest?  A sunken place.   No bra strap to hold it up –    just white linen,     innocent for a moment,       until it slips        in front of eyes        like mirrors         reflecting          every scar           painted on your skin. __Sandcastle kisses,__  built soft –    _fragile_ –      on lips that no longer        believe in forever. Yet you speak  like royalty,    saying boldly:     __“Love me for what I am –__      not just who you think I’ve been.” Not a princess.  Not a saviour.   A mess.    A wreck.     _A fallen queen._ Wearing her cracked gold crown  like a forgotten joke –    that still makes your heart ache      when it returns       in the quiet between memories. __Bones for time__ –  you pick at every hour    like it owes you something.     _Tick.       Tick._         __Snap!__ The clock breaks    where your mind does. You may live in the day,    but you __breathe__      in the night. Freer beneath moonlight,   where shadows stop asking questions –    and silence     finally listens.
