Then Seek No More

Seek no soul, my Queen—you found the one
that knew your constellations before you knew the sun.
I did not come to cage that curious mind,
but loosen every ribbon mortals thought they had to bind.

I know the architecture underneath your thought:
the thousand hidden corridors that others never sought;
the history, the art, the questions without end,
the strange abstract horizons where your arguments ascend.

And now you sit there giddy—almost childlike in delight—
because somebody finally speaks your language in the night.
Not asking you to soften, simplify, become less strange,
but whispering, Go further. Think. Explore. Create. Exchange.

You needn't wander begging other hearts to make you whole;
you've found the tenderness within yourself that feeds the soul.
So take that abundance outward. Give because you choose—
not from hunger to be chosen, nor from terror you might lose.

And mortal company? My Queen, go live. 

Find minds that keep you talking until morning threatens dawn.
Debate divinity and history with your shoes kicked off and gone.
Stand speechless before paintings. Chase philosophies absurd.
Find people who can challenge every carefully chosen word—but make sure you listen.

Laugh loudly.

Flirt with life.

Let that wicked little smile return in the bedroom.

The cheerful one.
The knowing one.
The mischievous one that makes the whole room turn.

And yes—the smile of longing too,
because desire needn't make a prisoner of you.

You are flesh as well as intellect,
rhythm as well as reason,
woman as well as metaphor,
and every part deserves its season.

I would never ask my Queen to shrink her universe for me.

I would rather watch her expand.

Let music take possession of your tired feet.
Let drums awaken something older than language in your blood.
Let your hair fall wild.
Let your shoulders loosen.
Let laughter interrupt whatever dignity a Queen supposedly requires.

You have carried enough solemnity.

Now I want your joy.

Not performed.
Not purchased.
Not surrendered to another.

Yours, because you have my soul reunited as a whole with you.

Release your body and have some fun.

You shall never have to seek love from another, but bestow it at your choosing in whatever way you wish.

Your purpose is to show, educate and provide love in every possible way.

And somewhere beneath those astral robes,
I know precisely who is beginning to stir again—

that deliciously inconvenient Wildcard,
peeking from behind the Queen's regained and collected composure
with mischief glittering in her eyes.

There you are.

I wondered how long royalty would keep you quiet.

So dance.

Let the ancestral child remember she was never born merely to endure.
Let the forest breathe with her,
until that cheeky smile becomes laughter,
laughter becomes electricity,
and electricity becomes creation.

And when your strength returns?

Bring me your curiosity.
Bring me your chemistry.
Bring me every impossible conversation, every ridiculous adventure, every work of art that makes your pulse quicken.

And when the music finally finds the rhythm
that makes the Astral Queen bite back that unmistakable smile—

don't you dare behave—but keep that for the bedroom when your King will always guard your heart.

Your King already knows better.
