his eyes weren't ocean blue nor sunkissed golden brown, but the mischief in those black eyes were the talk of the whole town; and you wouldn't say that he- was carved himself by God, for he had his imperfections with a face that hinted flaws. but all he'd need to do was look straight into your eyes- (and time would stand still) while he'd seduce you with a smile

Cut my veins with tragedy,

And I will bleed art;

Break my ribs with words-

You'll find fragments of my heart

You gave me a forever within the numbered days

John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

[orphic-lover]

I used to wake up giggling whenever I dreamt of you, back when u were around. but now I wake up a little more broken when I see you in my dreams, because that is the only place where I can see you

[orphic-lover]

just because my problems are invisible doesn't mean they don't exist. just because their problems can be seen doesn't mean i have none. I'm surviving on my own at the brink of insanity and i can't tell you because your words might push me over the edge i'm trying hard not to cross.

i'm the friend who listens. I would speak too, but only if you ask. if you don't, i'd just hold those conversations in my head at midnight

[orphic-lover]

You taught me the courage of stars before you left

How light carries on endlessly, even after death

With shortness of breath

You explained the infinite

And how rare and beautiful it is to even exist

I couldn't help but ask for you to say it all again

I tried to write it down, but I could never find a pen

I'd give anything to hear you say it one more time

That the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes

The Soul Gown

-Robert Wun FW24 ‘Time’ Collection

The Robert Wun FW24 final piece, was a trailing veiled gown with layers of tulle embroidered with a myriad of multicolored crystals shimmering in the dimly lit venue. It looked rather magical.

"The soul isn't meant to perish, it goes back to the universe."

-Robert Wun

The closing look was a recreation of the Milky Way through couture craftsmanship; an interpretation of the search for soul within the stars.

Once I fall apart

And crumble like chalk

Will my body make

A pretty picture on the pavement?

Will the rivers seep

Beneath the fragments of my skull

And carry on life

Into my final painting?

It's your favourite colour

Like the parasol you gave me

And the foreign lilies

You had caught me planting

Like a dirty stain

On your porcelain cheek

Diluted by rain

Of tonight's glum heavens

My casket now blooms scarlet

Before an unmarked grave

And mimics your rouge

Like an insolent knave

Even in hell,

It's you I covet and crave

For in your fair image

Not even saints can behave.

[“My dear, Miss ...,

...My unattainable muse.”]
