Here..
deep within
the confines of the heart
of the soul and a mind
awake.

Can this mind, of man feel?
Feel with the intensity and passion.
Passion of a magnitude
immeasurable.

Love within a heart, swelling,
given freely from a giving soul
wanting but one thing
in return.

Shelter not this heart from love’s pain
for within the mind love endures.
Pains of loss, of moments and memories.
Pain which can only be felt when....
when one has known and felt
true, unconditional love.

If with this love comes pain.
Pain which unquestionably hurts.
Flog me till tears bleed freely....
For true love endures eternally
in memories...

Magnus darling heart and holder of my soul’s reason, this is utterly utterly delightful. You know I love it utterly brilliant. The soft sound you can hear is my almost soundless sigh of breathless wonder. This is better than good it is utterly utterly superb darling boy. Of course you know that, and pretending you don’t doesn’t wash with me darling boy, you know I’m up to all your tricks.

Have we not discussed the way you simply outclass me constantly? I’m not asking for much a little slip in quality once in a while wouldn’t hurt, your reputation wouldn’t suffer, and I might just get a reply or two that didn’t say. Mushy must do better.

As I said this is superb, I’ll forgive you because I adore you, but still………… just a tiny slip……….. I won’t tell anyone I promise


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy


Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh
