Evanescence

Crescent moon— my lids gaze up, my hands unfold, one by one, my nails and my palms both breathing in— never out. I longed for the fresh air’s kiss beneath window pane when I was thirteen, because all I heard then, were screeching chains and the clenching sound of my suffocated veins. half moon came. my lids gaze up, my hands unfold: colors emerge through my arms, straight to my flesh. The wind— it soughs softly tracing every line on my palms. but this time, I let it dance. for it’s the first thing I have touched, that hurt a little less.. than chains.

Here's To The Stories We No Longer Tell

Facade— we clot our skins with sheets, sometimes jeans saturated with hues to protect us from the ray that’s coming. This and that. All we’ve became were fallacies through curves on our amber lips whispering gnaws, distances we no longer measure, silences we no longer hear. Silence— they knock on my walls at night until i learned to sleep on them anyway. Sometimes, they sing me to sleep, Sometimes, they don’t. and although skeleton was seamed and knotted on your fragrance, and ripping was an art i mastered, I wouldn’t part edges Even though it’s facade Even though even though.

never not thinking about claire schwartz writing “despite it all: tenderness. do you think i didn’t see you? you asked as you were leaving. i think you saw me completely, & left anyway. love is so embarrassing. i bled in your bed. i’m sorry. i have built you a shore with all my best words & still, the waves.”

It is the tinctures of becoming, that which runs sweet and unctuous and neverending, that lead me back to the fire with embers in my skin. We are two now, and one, in tandem encasing. Fervor gone, I hold the hands of Decay and tell him I felt you there with Fervor in anguish. It was the velvet of becoming.

MELODIES YOU SANG

I used to hate sad songs.

They stangle me to the depth

of my sadness, of course!

they are made for it.

And now, im singing along

with it— someone taught me how.

COMPLEXION

You stabbed intangible nails

on my skin and created holes

and wounds that climbed up to

my spine, i can feel my bones

rotting, and the thinnest

layer of my flesh cracking.

And the only way i know to heal

is to not let anyone touch me again,

not even myself.. for you made

me fear the soft skin

I was once wearing.

I STILL PRAY

And when the market is

too loud to hear the words

i have been screaming,

i run to you, my shrine,

my sanctuary, the only

person that spells

the word home.

Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke’s Book of Hours

[rockmia009]

Yes yes yes I do like you. I am afraid to write the strongest word (Woolf).

With the stars in her eyes, and veils in her hair, with cyclamen and wild violets (Woolf).

I wonder if you think about me, as you went home, or thought of me when the moon rose (Woolf).

If you consider things like the stars, our affairs don’t seem to matter very much, do they?

This morning I am wonderfully peaceful. Like a storm that has spent itself (Woolf).

I wish you’d find the exit out of my head (Woolf).

Have you seen any photos of her? An extraordinary lonely face (Simone de B. on V. Woolf).

Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to gain others (Woolf).

Darling, you are an angel - an angel (V. Sackville to V. W.)

Since you liked the first part, I decided to make another V. W. quotes & Carol post. Hope you will like it.
