Golden-brown crisped edges encrusted in crushed diamond sugar, And a custard consistency that puts bread pudding to a suicidal shame Drizzle her curves in syrup as they soak into brioche crevices and whipped cream fantasies melt in your mouth tickled with sweetness. Burst the berries in playful bites as sweet is tempered by tanginess Her dimensionality sets her apart. Drenched in layers of exquisite flavor, only the experienced can fully appreciate.

crescendo tiffany ko
Swirling anger muddies the vibrant colors, that have gradually matured after years of careful compromises and tight tongues. Sweet crystalline memories fog over with each angry breath and hot word His rusty brass answering to her faltering falsetto.

There are diminishing pauses between opposing voices until their duality reaches a frequency where each delicately contained artifact of past reconciliations shatters. Climactic moments are followed by trilling anxiety and a patient silence. And voices are suddenly unheard. Neither willing to contribute the first verse of their next stanza.
