Lead me through perilous lands
Ill advised choices
Never there. Then went poof

A system that sows 
A grapes of graft vineyard will
Be choked by it's vines

Others are not.

My tipping point after greeting one of life's many icebergs.

Too soon?

Ended with loathing 
Ignited with blazing lust
Never #amity

sure, infinity 
and beyond equations
are all well and good
but my struggle
is ciphering
an #affinity for now
