Analysis of The Reply.
His body was his bible,
Each selection scripted,
His love no matter or do's or don't,
Inflicted and Inflicted,
As sweet as it was to hear it floored the soul (that removed it to be clear).
For it's stop would be the birth into angel's embrace, and his eyes would look across,
purer and purer in face.
Until his eyes were the only true clarity left.
