RADIANT AS THE MOON , more tender than dove’s wings / her hand over his heart ( i listen for it so tenderly ; i listen for it’s familiar whisper against my pale cheek : i’m alive , i’m alive , i’m alive ) SHE IS HOPE’S TENDER DAUGHTER as savage & hardy as the ocean ---- she is a sea maiden who weeps over the moors , a spectre of starlight fallen to earth / a sliver of her divinity swept away by greedy hands ( she weeps for what she has never known : for like calls to like , and the cull of the sea within her is suffocating ) ❝ be still now , star . the more you jitter , the longer it takes . ❞
blue blushed & bone weary , her finger runs the edge of his lip with tender precision / eyes a quiet storm at night ❝ do you remember what i said to you ---- the first thing i said as soon as you came out of the arena ? ❞ eyebrows raise , sugar - coated curiosity , soft as rain / her lips pull into a smile , ignoring the buzz of voices that beckon them away from their small sanctuary
