![]() i find abysmal and cataclysmal solace in your solemn beauty and revel in the sweet song you sing to me as you perch on my windowsill. your affections are weathered and feathered and we have become tethered to one another, your winged embrace constellating us into an indelible oneness. in verse, you warbled to me that a oneness
is not made up of two halves but rather two solemn wholes embedded in an effervescent embrace and married in merry song. by dawn, the canaries have become your gentle orchestra, and by dusk, the nightingales my brazen symphony. all except you scatter at the shrill of my cry and again i wonder how a oneness so bilateral can become a truth far greater than a reality. dearest, a solemn duet is still a single song. your lyrics choke me in a doting embrace and i have become deaf to all save for the notes that embrace your tender throat. they peck at my temples and puncture my breast. till the day i die this song will never cease, the violinists will never tire, and our oneness will forever remain the most solemn artifact of what it is to become love’s most esoteric handmaidens. the seedlings in our bellies will become shoots and the blossoms will embrace our interwoven bodies. we are solemn and we are free and we are my greatest creation. we are the songstresses and our oneness cannot be replicated by mockingbird song. for you, my cardinal serenade, the song i sing in hopes that you hear just what i have become at the mercy of your balmy croons. our oneness transcends the most beautiful birdsong, as we welcome the embrace of our own moonstruck ballad. listen to my impassioned melody as it adjoins yours, solemn and unforgiving in its oneness, our sovereign song exalts the solemn, and we are damned to become imprisoned in this indulgent embrace, to the ends of time, my lover.
