jeopardizing tenderness

the affectionate players forgery is among the least despised of crimes,
except by its victims,

since the affection death,
it has become a compulsive reference for
philosophical discussions of fact and fraud in
intimate matters and subjects bound to disquiet lovers

its economic base is a club of
the people born with a silver spoon in their mouth,
who split the power to inflict or suppress
the value of fondness and attachment
with frivolous and hypothetical elitism

chastising passion,
the elite’s merrily sponsor the forgery of romance,
smacking of liaison resentment precisely
because they are gratification pariahs

elites are impeccably destructive,
tainting not only the authority of beauty and simplicity
but also the understanding and power of love

the spectre of chills they fabricate is crushing,
jeopardizing receptiveness, openness, approachability,
accessibility, tenderness,
without which the experience of affection cannot occur

lovers are people who brave that possible sorrow,
take chances, explore their affections,
for something greater then themselves
