If I draw you a door
to eternity’s ch’i,
will you paint me
a fair horizon?

If the path leads on
to oblivion’s lee,
will our journey bring us
to reason?

Cast the gate open
and let in the hordes,
the tickets are useless
today,
are they not?

Castigate openly
across the boards,
or the candidates‘
puddings will clot.

Why,
did I love you?
I seem to have forgotten
the values
of pleasure and sin.

Draw me a door
while I’m holding the key
so it opens
onto oblivion.

I was going to say, yes...but thinking about it I realized you have to be your own artist.

A pleasure to read you again, icebox.

"will our journey bring us
to reason?"

I have no doubt that it will eventually.

I have had this exact thought before.
A most excellent write Sir.

This--argggh--yer a devil.

This reads so deceptively simple and leaves me in brain frat riddles. (Izzit just ME?)

frowning

This whole time concept really musses with m'logical side. (I do have one--it just happens to be the part of the Rubick's cube I can't figger out.)

Expect e mails. Yer a tease.

that don't bring me questions...

"Cast the gate open
