sanctum

A jumble page of incomplete thoughts

Somewhere. Always. The maw of gravity bites me like a bear trap. Burning and greedy; ensnared in vices of human existence. Soul against my ribcage. Pressing. Clamoring for an escape. These bones have become more than a catastrophe. For I use to wear constellations as crowns. When the nights were longer. Before the earth claimed me; and my soul had to make a home- beneath sticks and clay.

You make me stronger, Persephone says, with her hair wild and open and flying in the wind when Hades puts his foot on the gas, as if the world can not defy me anymore.

You make me light, Hades says, with eyes heavy from the night and all the dead that weigh on his bones, as if nothing can wear me down anymore.

We will taste the world, Persephone promises, lips stained with cherries and pomegranate seeds she’s eating out of the bowl, we will savour it with teeth and lips and we will do it together.

I will never love someone as I love you, Hades promises, fingers drawing flowers all over her skin, writing I love you in different shades, I will never put myself into the hands of another one again.

We are but young gods, Persephone laughs, arms spread wide in a meadow, reflecting all colors of the autumn at her bare soles, what are you afraid of?

I am afraid because even gods can die, Hades whispers, half swallowed by the night, one knee pulled under his chin, the other dangling from the windowsill of a cheap motel, and if we do, we do quietly.

Heaven’s Flowers

What’s euphoric?

The breathy whisper of winter uttering sweet-nothings to the stale summer air. 

That moment when summer shifts to fall and the only heat rest between worn buildings and sparse bodies of water.

When Persephone's touch teeters from nurture to devastating. As if Hades chastely whispers to her through the wind; “This time is close, my queen. Come home”.

I long for the early hours of the morning. When the sun peaks over the horizon and much like the moon I too can drift to sleep.

Fingers, damp. Reached into his throat. And not a trace of him remained, between the patches of rock and sand.

“I try to think of a time before this.  A time before you, a time before me. But all I can seem to recall is this emptiness. As if the very presence of you had brought out me all along.”

"What would happen, if I kiss you?"

"All that you are would cease to exist."

[sincerelyindigo]

What a shame, that a pitiful boy, planted a bad seed in your heart. And what a tragedy it is, that it grew into a garden of misfortune

When it comes to you, let gravity fail me.

Tell me what I did, to have the pleasure and misfortune of knowing someone like you.

“Try to imagine a life without timekeeping.”

“Oh my dear, we would be infinite. Boundless and unrestrained. Two stars lazily drifting through the cosmos; the entirety of the universe within our reach.”

I cradle my favorite song close to my chest. It's melody the soft murmur of my heartbeat.

The universe expanded, and he too grew. An incandescent nestled within the blackened veil of the cosmos. A glimmer, reflecting on top of ebony snow. A celestial born of ice and stardust. A lost boy, who longed for sunlight.

It's the rhythmic pitter-patter of rain that reminds me so much of your heartbeat. Lost in the eye of the storm, wondering if- maybe, you miss me as much as I miss you.

Pulse

[sincerelyindigo]

I spend my best moments alone. Your time something I desperately can't afford. Though I wish I could. I want to share my best moments with you.

[sincerelyindigo]

I'll always remember the way the sunlight fell through your hair. How the city grew quiet as the ocean sighed with the fleeting day. That moment couldn't have been more perfect-then you took my hand.
