Pain and agony were just an
'inseparable aspect of love's genetics.'
But I am certain
that love doesn't burn skin.
Malice, rejection, jealousy,
and abandonment
tend to set bodies ablaze.

Not love.
Love is the kindest,
passionate, and tender-hearted
emotion in this world.
Do not take sorrow
or disappointment
for love.

Love is butter.
Smooth and flavorful...
Even if it burns black
in the pan.
Butter can't burn skin.
It touches
and melts.
For myself

Woke up and wrote this a few nights ago. Forgot it was even on my phone until now.

“You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.”

Kiss me
return the color to my lips
breathe air into my lungs
and let  me grieve the death of us
your eyes looking away.

Kiss me
until the night
drops from the stars 
and your eyes become last light
while I pretend the heart to mend
with just one kiss 
ignoring what is true.

He crossed over the veil

With the wind and a sail

Using funk and soul

To keep him whole

Beyond all pain

Amidst the purple rain.
RIP Prince
