Who ever said war can't be a pursuit of passion? Who ever said vengeance can't be an act of love? I go to war with you in this artistic dimension, because (as human to human) I love you. This passionate pursuit is a demonstration of the grace I give to you. I could have taken my vengeance to a physical dimension in which you would have no escape from the fear of your fate. Instead, I show grace. I give you memories you can trace back to love instead of the grave.

Falling in love isn't the goal Falling in love is the byproduct of time spent finding value in a genuine person. Falling in love, being a goal, is predatory at worst and emotional manipulation at best To experience the fall is a blessing To experience the universe merging two souls is a euphoric event To invest in such a union is money well spent To unite by force will turn cataclysmic Leaving everyone bent

Teenage fever under the moonlight Burnt rubber from the XTerra Because it feels right Barrett Pkwy skid marks Be it skilled right Just wanted you to feel something by midnight

Emotional Co-Dependency is the soil from which toxicity grows; a plant without gender. In every valley of all of my romantic relationships; every toxic moment was rooted in the emotional codependency of the relationship. The unsuccessful moment of the flow of love in the relationship felt like a blockage in the singular body, mind, and spirit our love created- as if we were the one's giving the entity (our relationship) high blood pressure. How do we detox our souls? How do w

For you, Hope is just a feather in the wind. Whimsically, twirling about your space. Just out of reach, again. Seemingly, mocking you in your face.

I know how to dance, but your beaooty made my feet stutter At times, I'm arrogant in my confidence; yet and still, your aura made my heart flutter. You came in from the NorthEast like a blizzard in the desert sun Growing cacti at an exponential rate Like you do it for fun I wasn't ready for your seemingly euphoric lands Yet, This town ain't big enough for the 2 of us; If I have to make the plans.

A Red Cardinal sang to me, one morning. It woke me from my sleep. It comforted me; reminding me the mountain of regaining consciousness in this reality wasn't so steep. As the mountain peaked, rotating on top of a molten core of heat; I'm reminded of the grace God has shown me. Because of my distance from the peak; Because of the soil under my feet; Because of the bedrock, even more deep; I never had to feel the magma beneath. And in that moment of gratitude, I was ready to

Even at it's photonic level... Even light doesn't have the ability to reach the ends of my love for you. Even in the darkness of dark matter... Even as the photons of light fizzle into nothingness, My love for you never changes.

Leading the stream of consciousness for the Unrequited Love Exhibition is this thought piece of the puzzle of Branden J Johnson's love life.

I remember asking myself "Why does my mom have her foot out the window?"
