Dear Diplomacy

Dear diplomacy
We've walked fine lines as a couple, hand in hand
Drifting through the aisles, laughing at the way we walk

"Right foot"
"Left foot; slight pause"
"Right foot..."

Dear discovery
You and I have had many days
In green pastures with flowing milk and honey
Lying on large fluffy blankets that hide the bumps in the ground
Eating cake with our hands, careful for the icing

Dear dreary
We know each other well
Tattoos of our respective names across our backs
Shamed by the acquaintance
But mirrored by our moves

Dear delight
Our love knows no bounds
In plush pillows and clouds on lakes
Hazy from the early morning dew
Small pellets of water dance across our feet
As we walk along side the waterway

Ah, dear insanity
You stole my other friends
You plastered my name on slanderous posters
Kindly, you allow dreary
With remorse, but skillful tact
I plead for more
Your love is relentless
