To all of you... (My tribute to DP)

By Kinkypoptart

my home away from home
the place I so often run
when I’m lost even to myself
so many times I’ve found strength here
it’s TIMe to acknowledge
the strength I’ve found in you
so mysterious, but so true
never dishonest… For that I thank you
like a LABRAT in a maze
you always seem to come through
when I need to talk… or…
just to read something amazing
the TWISTED ORCHIDs bloom here
so beautifully… with grace
in awe I breathe in the wonder
and exhale my respect
a SILENT STALKER in the back of my mind
always there to listen
or talk… or listen…
but usually just to talk
when ive gone a little CUCU
you can always lead me back
to where it all began
and allow me to forget it all
its here my DARKDESIRES
come alive and excite me
knowing my every secret
never ceasing to amaze me
my beacon of light and hope
through the SYNTHETIC DARKNESS
always there for whoever
just needs a friend
ive been here for three years
I plan on being here for another SIX
this place is definitely a sanctuary
when im sad or lonely
the SERENITY that befalls me here
calms my heart
sooths my soul
does so much for me…
ive fallen so many times… to ASHes
fallen to dust, but all you people
have been there to pick me up…
thank you all so much.
