The older I get the more I admire people who are earnestly, genuinely into whatever their thing is. I know it sounds like an annoying cliche but unless you're being cruel or hurtful there is really no need to be normal about things. The dude with the bad fake accent at the renaissance faire is having the time of his life. The people having photoshoots with their fashion dolls are loving it. The old lady with a yard unreasonably full of tacky ass lawn ornaments is having a blast, HOA be damned.
Don't waste your time being too cool to have fun, y'know?

Castle In Spain
Once upon a time,
I read a fantasy so fine.
It ignited my deepest desires,
That felt so divine.
It was not the plot that held a strong grasp,
But the male chauvinist with voice so rasp.
A character so grey,
My morale went astray.
Trauma so deep,
In the world of painful pleasure, I did seep.
Frivolous fraternity of lust
Luscious lucidity of a passion, robust.
A platter full of delectable delicacies
Why mind a ride of eccentric ecstasies?
Never did I envy a woman this bad,
Fictional she was and she should be glad.
Tough love wasn't even his finest force.
Charmed, I was, by his whispers voiced hoarse.
His bold blandishment
But gentle enticement,
His vicarious vigour
But principles that never whither.
Vigilante for the world
But dear debonair for his girl.
He who would play havoc with his contemporaries,
Would struggle to impress her with new itineraries.
All of it seemed to be a perfect fit
As he deemed to be a character who could commit.
All that glitter is not gold
Is a maxim ages old.
Right then, I spot the one fatal flaw
Which, of course, the author never saw.

The Shape of Things to Come
I swear I’m not staring
at her name. It’s only the cast
of each letter, the grace,
re-entry for my memories
carved in clay, all else erased.
That night instead of chasing
stray Northern Lights above
stone walls of an old water tower,
instead of heading back
along dark water, singing
through blue air I’d breathed
for too many seasons,
I arrived at a wheel and a kiln.
I swear I’m not staring
at her face. It’s just
the effect of her making
and unmaking, it’s just
her intense concentration.
Now that I’m right here,
I can’t think of anything else.
I’m only staring at her hands,
I swear. Only her hands.

December.
I have a love-hate relationship with December. There is something very aesthetically soothing about December. It's so cold yet so warm, so lonely yet so homely. December feels like coming back to your childhood home that makes you feel inconveniently nostalgic.

This one hits differently in this season 🥹🫶
Hate You
Now that fate has fated
And betrayal has revealed itself with breath bated.
I yearn to develop that hatred
For breach of a trust, so sacred.
My heart melts like the snow
After the things I've come to know.
The things that you did,
Bloody secrets that you hid.
You ask, "What you mean?"
Infidelity is a sin, I ween.
It's not the act that hurt
But the aftermath and dearth.
Is it something that I lack?
Or something that was slack?
Didn't I tie the knots too tight?
Was it too much to fend for my feelings after every fight?
If you were not the one to stay,
If it was so easy for a staunch lover to go astray,
Then why did you promise a faux prophecy
And dare to display that pomp hypocrisy?
Your words, that were once whispers of a nymph so sweet
Now, sound like blasphemy straight out of serpent, a cheat.
I watch you beg
I watch you plead
And yet again, I take that lead.
I know what's next to come
Same old promises
And words of affirmation, some.
Same old tears that you'll shed
Until we'll take this to bed.
After all, it's not the first blotch that our book beholds,
Unfortunately, your loyalty is the first thing that unfolds.
It's a ritual that I understand too well
But here, my thoughts profoundly dwell
Now that fate has fated
And betrayal has revealed itself with breath bated;
Why can't I hate you like the villain that you always were?
Loving you still is the only way it doesn't hurt.

Strangers to lovers
Who were you?
Memories flashed in my mind anew
As I was trying to trace faces of a few.
Fate played it's cards right
When you were jostled by my sight
Who were you?
All I can recall is that a beautiful stranger in gloom,
As clueless as me, locked his eyes with mine;
And oh so swiftly you sauntered across the room
Seeming as delectable as that wine and dine.
Who were you?
Flaunting all your flair,
You floated through the dull air;
Immersed in that magnificent glory,
I knew this could be the start of a delightful story.
Who were you?
I strived to pull off a face card
To garner your gratification was a task too hard.
In the town gathering of who's who,
I was guilty of making it all about you.
Who were you?
Just when the heavens were in accord,
When I presumed my presence struck a chord,
When you walked that anticipative walk,
And finally talked that enthralling talk.
Who were you?
Now I knew.
In a moment you went from my lover starstruck to a lover star crossed.
I watched your body embraced and your mind engrossed.
How can I call her "the other woman" in this ill-fated tale?
When it was all in my head where the ship of our love set on a sail.

Friendship is the most beautiful bond because it is neither enforced nor inherited. We simply choose to be around them and I find that concept absolutely endearing.
