❝ I have seen them riding seaward on the waves Combing the white hair of the waves blown back When the wind blows the water white and black. We have lingered in the chambers of the sea By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown Till human voices wake us, and we drown. ❞ ―       T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

desi dark academia set in odisha

across the horizon, the sea fades. humming, in waves towards the shore. laughter, ringing in the temple bells. forests growing deep. red, the paint on the dancing hands and feet.

red seeping into green. earth. brown and green. this is them.

this, Trishna, is home.

desi dark academia mood board

eldest child. artistic, botany student. hiding behind saccharin smiles and soft frowns. voice tingling until it stops serenading. will the expectations ever stop?

sing to me to me, Aaranya. the forest you grew around yourself, is humming, with the vibrations of your music.

be terrified…

[themistypoet]

“They say the Queen Anoints herself with blood, That her poetry sings in the old tongue Arcane and blasphemous. 

The Book of Kings is burning It calls your name, The last remainder of an empire - Shall we ring the temple bells?”
