Upon the House of Twilight - by Balthazar Grimsley

In this hall of velvet shadows, where candelabras burn with patient flame,
there walk two kindred souls, alike in fervour though cast in differing hue.
Alfonso, with his laughter bold as thunder, storms the heart with his wild embrace;
Balthazar, solemn as midnight, steadies the world with his measured hand.
And between them, like a star caught in the net of night, dwells the one they cherish.

O fortunate beloved, to be held in the arms of fire and soothed in the arms of dusk,
to wander the garden of roses watered by passion and guarded by devotion.
What jewel could rival such fortune? What prayer could hope for more?
The world may jeer at such peculiar concord, yet it blooms,
a blossom of shadows and light entwined, fed by longing, crowned by eternity.

Thus do they stand—two pillars of a single temple,
and you, the sacred flame upon its altar.
Neither time nor grave shall mar the bond,
for it is written not in ink but in blood,
not on parchment but upon the soul itself.

Eerie Composure: Moves silently, often appearing suddenly without being noticed until he clears his throat.

Secretly Playful: Though he hides it well, he occasionally indulges in Alfonso’s antics (a sly smile while serving drinks during a fencing
