The earth laughs in flowers

"I see what you did there. I’d love to go to the beach, flirt with some hot surfers, y’know."

[jade-rollins]

"I appreciate good flower humor. I've never actually been to a beach, though."

[itsqueenaphrodite]

"Preach it. I love this time of the year but I can’t deny I’m getting tired of this fucking snow."

[jade-rollins]

"I'm like a perennial. I need spring and summer to thrive."

[jade-rollins]

"I'm so tired of the snow and the cold. I'm ready for spring and new life."

I tried going home… Back to Greece. But I stopped in Italy and I just couldn’t bring myself to go the rest of the way…

[jade-rollins]

"What stopped you?"

"I love that movie! Ariel’s so lovely! Just like Aurora… Yeah, I’m addicted to Sleeping Beauty! Have you seen the new version of that movie, with Angelina Jolie? I just cried a river when Maleficent kissed Aurora. It was so… Beautiful."

[jade-rollins]

"I was really just in love with how powerful Maleficent was."

"I know what you mean, it’s so lovely. I’ve always loved how belle and the beast hate each other and then go on to fall in love."

[jade-rollins]

"I love how they really meet under some weird circumstances, I mean she was his prisoner, and she really helps him remember how to be kind and gentle."

[itsqueenaphrodite]

"The animated movie?! I’m in love with that one! It’s my favorite movie, too!"

[jade-rollins]

"I'm also fond of The Little Mermaid, have you seen that one?"

[alittlelostsnowflake-deactivate]

"I have indeed. And I must agree with you, it’s really good."

[jade-rollins]

"I rented it the other day in a bit of a drunken state...and fell in love."

[vxlentina-suarez-blog]

I reckon I have.. Wasn’t really impressed with it, to be quite frank.

[jade-rollins]

"How can you not be impressed with Beauty and the Beast?"

[jade-rollins]

"Have you ever seen Beauty and the Beast? It's my new favorite."

Greek Mythology → Persephone

Persephone, daughter of Zeus and Demeter, and the Queen of the Underworld.  At length Hades was persuaded to surrender Persephone for one half of every year, the spring and summer seasons when flowers bloom and the earth bears fruit once more.

Greek Mythology Picspam: Hades & Persephone

He dreams, he wonders what to call this place. First he thinks: The New Hell. Then: The Garden. In the end, he decides to name it Persephone’s Girlhood.

A soft light rising above the level meadow, behind the bed. He takes her in his arms. He wants to say I love you, nothing can hurt you

but he thinks this is a lie, so he says in the end you’re dead, nothing can hurt you which seems to him a more promising beginning, more true. (x)

Pointing at the Moon || Blake & Jade

[blakevidel-blog]

Cerby looked up at her, his tongue flopping out at the marvelous petting. He growled when she turned away from him, and began pawing at his ear to remove the flower. He was unsuccessful and he padded over into Blake who swiftly removed it. Cerby then moved to curl up on one of Blake’s couch’s, where he watched Persephone from the distance just in case she tried to plant more. Blake, meanwhile, glanced sideways to glimpse the flower. He turned to his wife with a classic look of exasperation. “I remember it very well. It was rather humiliating.” He said, almost ready to go and follow his dog to sit and watch her from a safe distance. “You are incorrigible sometimes.” Blake said, drawing her close to him to kiss her head, then released her.

[jade-rollins]

Jade couldn't help but smile at Blake's familiar expressions. It was one she saw often during her winters with him, and one she had grown to love. "I thought they suited you rather well," She laughed, closing her eyes as he brought her in close, relishing in the nearness to him, "I secretly think you liked them." Jade perked an eyebrow at Blake, watching him eye Cerby. She knew from the look he gave his dog that he was close to following; to the safety of the couch. In two long, confident strides, Jade closed the space between her and Blake, placing her palms on his chest. Her eyes never leaving his, Jade rose to her toes, hovering her lips near Blake's before pressing them to his gently.

"Dance with me!"

[noahwritespoems]

I. Men would cower at my name, were they so allowed to speak it. Men would swoon to see my face, were they unafraid to see it. I did not come here of my will but I will not leave, I will not give up my throne though my mother cavils. I am a Queen here, mother. What are you? II. Dreary though it is I have my garden, and a husband that is just, and fair, not kind. I imagine it is lonely there in winter. I know I have grown used to the cold. I know I have grown. III. They used to call me Cora. I was a child. I was a maiden, and a foolish girl, and dull. When men hit the ground and curse, I grant damnations. Mother, this place is dark-walled, but it’s home. IV. I will be home soon, in the springtime, growing flowers. But know that you can’t stop me when I leave again. It is beautiful above ground, and beautiful below. I am now life and death, the dread Persephone.
