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.”

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
