With @twunk_or_treat resting open and trusting, @Corpor8Top set his hands and mouth to Excalibur with practiced devotion, his lover watching as the King later took his turn. Two lovers, one bond, and I but a passing instrument. Is this not true intimacy?
This Valentine’s Day, I turn not to roses nor ritual, but to thee. To the one who stood beside me as I shed old cloaks and dared to reveal more of myself through art, through joy, through connection, through honest pleasure. Thou hast witnessed this strange and beautiful unfolding, and rather than turn away, thou stepped closer, and even joined the dance.
Because of thee, I learned that shame need not rule the body nor the heart. Because of thee, laughter rings truer, meals taste richer, nights feel warmer. Life itself softeneth and brightens in thy presence. Even the music, aye, the music soundeth better with thee.
So on this day devoted to love, know this, thou art cherished, thou art seen, and thou art part of this kingdom’s becoming. Tell me, fair heart, how could I not offer thee mine in return?
