Quoted in the Grove:
I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
~Stephen Roberts
Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp – or what’s a heaven for?
~Robert Browning
You’ve got to kick at the darkness til it bleeds daylight.

Prewritten: spook, paraphernalia
~Greymane: Regalia
Buried in the garden just beside the white azalea, the party hadn’t gone the way he’d planned
Something like this seems to happen every bacchanalia with victims of unbridled contraband
He strutted in the party wearing leather paraphernalia, his private things a little out of hand
He chanced a fancy dance in all his boa fan regalia while making lewd advances to the band
The techno blaring spooky scary geisha from Australia just may have had an over-active gland
If ever you encounter one just pray yer feets don’t fail ya on the way to run away from what he’s planned

Impromptu: lust, infatuation
~Greyman: Dis Play
I battled my obsession for the deep infatuation that my lust had carved so deeply in my soul
I traded my confession for a spiral of depression leaving screaming smoking craters on patrol
I wandered through the sorrows left by frozen empty dreams that had cost a little more than I could pay
I promised I’d be back again with glittery extremes putting all my open wounds out on display

~Heartou: Lust
Lust and Infatuation
They go together like thunder and lightning
Lust and Infatuation
Both bring out the faith that leaves any heart tightening
Lust and Infatuation
Are under no uncertain terms real
But damn…
Lust and Infatuation produces an ecstatic feeling of trust that
people will kill to feel
I say to all of those who lust and infatuate…
You keep the world turning
It’s all sacred
We all yearn
and
One time, one somewhere..
It will become real
~
~MissMerry: MM Impromptu
My head is spinning
but my feet are on the ground
I’m too damn old
to go round and round and round
Coworker asks “why’re you smilin'”
I’m sure she’d like to know
All I’ve done is watch the clock
Hoping it would be time for me to go
I met him in a space ship
He smiled, I felt a “POP”
I thought it was an afterburner
’cause now things just won’t stop
Now consumed by Lust’s addiction
My heart is in his hands
or maybe it’s a tentacle
whatever – it feels grand
When I zip out of my space suit
at the end of my busy day
I know he’ll make me squirm and grin
as we blast off and fly away.
