❛   holding on ,     to everything that’s come and gone.          I need     DISTRACTION.   ❜

clouds of thick gray skewed      any      glismp of the world      below their mountain top ,      the aroma of heaven      falling to earth      spreads chills and excitement throughout.      what      a      time      to      be.      soon , the lord of the sky , and their king will return , and THEY SHALL DELIGHT , for      it      is      spring.                     can’t you taste it ?    the change in the air ?                     rain showers bring bright flowers , and improve dreary dispositions , well , save one. 

spot him !      among the columns of the pantheon , strikingly white and impressively towering ,                     had it not been for his distinctly dark hair , or zephyros’ spell swirling at his feet ,                      he too might      have been      made of marble.      arms link , she beside him ,      and it is as if they’re children      again      in their father’s pit ,      sharing secrets ,      aspirations , dreams      of kingdoms      they had yet to conquer.      

“ we’ll find it , ” says she ,      as if such a task      is completed as easily      as a snap of her fingers.      “ and if not with me ,      and my charming anecdotes ,      maybe with luncheon      pastries and nectar ,      or one apollo’s preview poems       —      why , perhaps      we may also find a smile      for you yet ! ”

[auhera]

apollo   ,

“   fine  point  you  make ,   ”           he  is  light  itself , the  gild  of  his  veins  seep  through  his  skin  and  gives  off  a  glow  that  would  put  even  the  brightest  of  stars  to  shame , though  even  he , in  all  his  illuminate  glory , is  merely  half  of  what  makes  him  whole , what  is  the  sun  without  the  moon ?             "    the  sun  will  never  not  rise ,  for  even  the  darkest  nights  merely  pave  the  road  to  the  brightest  dawns.  ”

“ hm, ” she hums , she smiles.                      there is no joy in it , for indeed , it is an expression      that’s greatly rehearsed ,      a practiced manner      reserved specifically      in obligation      to humor      all      in their court ,      even the son ,      apollo.                       gaze of the clear northern sky ,      eyes of a striking blue ,      study the younger god.      he is heir to her husband’s throne ,      to hers.      BLESSED BE      olympus ,      if the mountain never sees the day of her destruction ,      of power being passed.      may ichor never spill in favor of this child.

“ then it is fortuitous ,                      our summer’s sun oft hidden by the grey coat of morning.      after all ,      we wouldn’t want anyone      to go blind      —      basking in that      bright glory. ”

sentence starters from the 1952 book, EAST OF EDEN by john steinbeck

“i guess a loving woman is indestructible”

“all great and precious things are lonely.”

“and now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good.”

“was it good or was it evil?”

“have i done well — or ill?”

“there’s more beauty in truth, even if it is dreadful beauty.”

“do you take pride in your hurt?”

“maybe you’re playing a part on a great stage with only yourself as audience.”

“sometimes a man wants to be stupid if it lets him do a thing his cleverness forbids.”

“and i was not afraid any more.”

“there’s a punishment for that, and it’s usually crucifixion.”

“perhaps the less we have, the more we are required to brag.”

“… it’s awful not to be loved.”

“i think i love you.”

“i’m not good.”

“i eat stories like grapes.”

“sin is our own designing.”

“i don’t want to be lonely.”

“i don’t want to be mean.”

apollo   ,

“  the  light  is  coming  to  give  back  everything  the  darkness  stole. ”

concept     of opposites ,                     of one or the other , always opposing       —      what a way to look at the world ,     and think in such simplicity !  the queen hera ,      regent of the heaven ,      knows the touch of eos ,      knows the hand of astraeus.      she knows the day ,      she knows the night ,       without either , and all between.    “ and      what good      is it ,      this blessing      of LIGHT ,      without      vast darkness      to give      it glow ? ”

[dearemma]

Oh, Jane, do you ever think ill of anybody?

wife.

hands find their way to his abdomen , where she keeps him an arm’s length away.                      close , but far enough to entice the imagination to what might be.                      “  husband.  ”

[auhera]

BREATHE the night air , crisp and cool ,                      inhale it. it stings her chest , after hours of delight in such suffocating warmth.                       true , she did play hostess , but the guest list had become great , and the plus ones seemed to turn into plus tens and suddenly she found herself slipping out.                        but not before whispering to idris , and now idris to hermes and surely now , hermes to him , and it is the queen hera’s hope that her husband , her king , her zeus , would in turn follow.       after parties are always so much                      more intimate.

so , she waits to pull him away from the pantheon , in the dark , where sweet nothings can be whispered without consequence.       “ husband , ”       say she , when bright eyes will no doubt meet.        “ do again , remind me what makes a       thunderstorm       so fearsome. ”       //       @charastudys !
