How the roots intertwine. Wrapping around my legs like vines. Grounding me into the soil like an anchored ship. But I'm not complaining about the grip.
On a winter's night, John Keats returned home. He was cold, wet and alone. He felt a little under the weather but he chose to ignore.

You discover a house that has been locked for years. Behind its doors are the memories of tears. You break inside but that was a mistake.
This is not a traditional love affair. One lover on the ground and one in the air. But it is those brief moments that they share.

Many lovers have I. From ground to sky. In sea or tree. Such beings romance me. I can not ignore their calls. Up towering mountains or cascading waterfalls.
Inside of me is a demon who hides behind my lungs. He lies in wait to seal my fate to where the innocent are hung. He drinks my blood and gnaws my bones.
Each of us have a story to tell. Whether it be one of heaven or one of hell. Each one is as important as the next. And with our pens is how we express.
