i believe in love

i believe in a lot of things

i believe in less

but i believe in love

and i believe in words

words are weapons; my tools

my children, my bastard children of reason

i have no reason

i have no logic

no lover to coo my quietly

remind me that i am in control

i want none of it

why settle for the logical deduction

when i can feed this corruption

of strict articulation

it's not normality i seek

it's enlightenment

to deepest caves on my convulsing soul

it's here that love lies

like layers of dirt beneath my nails

it's here i learn to love you

maddeningly

and without restraint

whoever you are

whoever you were

whoever you will become

i will love you

like Lucifer loved God
