Punished
Edward’s good night verse
Oh Jane, my dear friend
How much longer can one man stand
To be apart from thee?
We must read from Poe, from Descartes, from the tombs of despair
That shook Camus,
Indeed, I am a man who bleeds philosophy as I feel it like poetry,
I drink it in like love as it reads like geometry,
As Descartes believed higher knowledge is gained through the higher power of God,
I seek Jane for her piety,
Yes, her eyes of pure sun moon purity,
Unblemished by cruelty,
Let us read Shakespeare
Not for Romeo but for Mercutio
A tragic, comic figure,
But most of all,
We should be side by side doing so,
Laughing and teasing,
Debating in a intellectual mood and talking over tea,
But alas, I am chained up by a mad raven, in my dark house,
Watching as a hawk over me,
Punished like a criminal
As I have tormented by a heart’s feeling.

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
