*written with my friend greymouser*


Although this vessel has by time been age
and is no longer supple, soft and smooth
it's loving contents is a beverage
to give to those who see it's worth to sooth
but now it starts to drip from seam and stem
and try it's very best to stop the flows
this vessel might not be an opaque gem
but proudly sails its mast and glows
hull of courage and will carries on
sometimes riding waves of despair
never does this compass steer wrong
alone in the darkness and cold night air
Is one short sip to taste so much to ask?
To anchor within prides harbor and bask



You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.

                                                -Ziggy

Victoria,
this painted visions of a loving cup for me.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows
of my heart

(smiles) Yes, yes, our destinies are all like vessels rocking on the seas of passion, and even in the coldest winters and the rough icebergs and hurricanes we may come across, He will always show us the way with His astrolabe of faith and with His breath will guide our vessels in a heavenly wind! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is wonderful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Victoria, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
