God's Perfect Knowledge of Us

Have you ever taught God anything? The truth is God has never learned from anyone. If He did or could he would not be God. He would be another imperfect person.

the other half of a letter
instructions fulfilled to
the very best of ability

on the chessboard a tower
rumbles into position - pieces
beginning to align into place

observe
the rise and fall
of mania, and even
restraints cannot
keep the madness
at bay

the dawn brings no relief
to those who love the night

#dailydracula aug19 - catch up

threads spin and play
stories seperate start to
find a merging together

and in the dark
a light shines brighter
soon reunited of it please god

a master comes
with glowing eyes
and a fervent devotee kneeling

a dream undone
a might have been
amd an escape, desperate

Mattie & Morgan are on a 'non-date' at the local coffee shop by their university. Morgan is teasing Mattie about his coffee taste profiles.

(Side Note: Apollo's is named after the cafe in Animal Crossing! 😍)

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerRomance

Morgan burst into laughter, causing several people to look over at the table. He cleared his throat, “Sorry all, but he was talking about cinnamon and vanilla notes in the coffee, like it was some kind of wine.” A few people chuckled from other tables, Mattie scootched down in his seat a little further. “You and Apollo are going to be best friends I think.” Morgan swished his tea before drinking the rest of it, “You hear that, Apollo, notes of cinnamon and vanilla.”

Apollo gave a thumbs up, “Glad you aren’t like the neanderthal you decided to have a coffee with. Next cup is on me because you seem like a cool cat, Mattie.”
