I know how to tempt with metaphors
And shine words like smoked glass -
Hot and deliberate syllables,
Teasing taboos in fertile minds,
Cracking the polished surface -
All the better to beguile you with.
I love to string them like beads -
Vibrant and colorful shards
That cut deep
And leave interesting scars
To flaunt at private battles.
I like to snap up letters,
Phrases to undress you -
Intriguing and unpredictable -
Twisting them into precious amulets,
Wrapping them around your heart,
All the better to adorn you with.
I love following their trail -
Rich and insidious jewels -
That grab your imagination
And explode the cool eloquence of your world
Into something visceral.

WOW, you do have a way with words!! That's pretty sexy for a magician! Makes me think of the movie The Prestige.

Seriously, you work magic with words!

Life is an adventure, but death is a bigger one for no one knows what comes after this life. So it is the biggest adventure of all. And I will embrace it with open arms. I am ready.

And what lies before us
Are small matters compared to

He died for me so I live for Him. If you don't appreciate that, that is your perrogative, but please don't judge what you don't understand.

I don't normally use this phrase when referring to written work, but that is simply delicious. A treat to read. ^^
