we will always dream together, under the same blanket of stars.

thedustdancestoo a tiny love poem (via thedustdancestoo)

[thedustdancestoo]

To begin a story is to step into a dark unknown filled with clawed beasts, mountains with teeth, and often, deep deep loneliness. But have courage. Beasts can be defeated, mountains can be climbed, and you are never truly alone. We are here. Each of us. Storytellers roaming the unknown, together.

i like the world at dusk when everything is buoyant and a little bashful, like the warm air between us when we smile and look away waiting for fireflies to speak.

a photograph of an old poetry book.

the poem is "On the Sea" by John Keats. 

..

It keeps eternal whisperings around Desolate shores, and with its mighty swell Gluts twice ten thousand caverns, till the spell Of Hecate leaves them their old shadowy sound. Often 'tis in such gentle temper found, That scarcely will the very smallest shell Be moved for days from where it sometime fell, When last the winds of heaven were unbound. O ye! who have your eyeballs vexed and tired, Feast them upon the wideness of the Sea; O ye! whose ears are dinn'd with uproar rude, Or fed too much with cloying melody, -- Sit ye near some old cavern's mouth, and brood Until ye start, as if the sea-nymphs quired!

i feel so empty in the afternoon.

[sunpixels]

i still remember the black and white promises we painted on the sides of rusted railroad cars--

love and hope and other four letter words. 

[sunpixels]

we watched the water 

carve rivers in the ice.

i wanted to kiss you,

but i didn't.

[sunpixels]

slip your hand into mine

as we slip between time

and the hands of a clock.

[sunpixels]

in this dream i had,

we lay on the floor like lovers

watching light fall through the window

onto our skin.

[sunpixels]

i remember when you left,

using your last ragged breath

to remind the angels it was time

to leave too.

[sunpixels]

keep searching

in abandoned corners

and forgotten spaces;

find me in the darkness,

find me in the light.

"neverland."

if i could sew your shadow back on,

i would, i promise.

i promise.

"shybody's."

we're kleptos stealing peeks,

every week we sneak

glances at each other

from the corners of crowds,

as we hide behind scarves.

[sunpixels]

the river screams,

running off into a sunset

as we take flight.

[sunpixels]

you

are the moon,

so far

from my lips.
