But its so easy to close your eyes
and listen to the music
of a world untouched by reason.
My rhymes are desperate, yet passive
I urge the subject to pursue a dream
the brilliant portrait of a lover
rather then the wonderful tragic truth.
For after all, truth is beauty
and ignorance is bliss
So, decide that your truth is ignorance
and live in glorious ecstasy.
Why love a person that is flawed
just as your poor self is,
who will only lead to the realization
that you must give up yourself to love.
Though it is the most blessed form
of self-mutilation within the universe
It will only lead to more of us
and less of you.
And pardon my less then logical conclusion,
but I feel it must be said
A being as dynamic and intrinsic as yourself
should never have to compromise.
Hoist up your paintbrush,
and smear your love across your bed.
A hopeless romantic deserves, at very least,
the very best painter portraying them.
to love is to dismiss the flaws and live on with the knowledge that they are dismissing yours. This is in every relationship between all but gods.
