RICHARD SIKEN SENTENCE STARTERS [EXTENDED]

– So I really liked the original meme here, so much that I ended up buying the poet’s book Crush to read. 

Inspiration hit and here are 79 lines, categorized by poem. Feel free to change pronouns and any names!

SCHEHERAZADE

❝Tell me about the dream where we pull the bodies out of the lake and dress them in warm clothes again.❞ ❝Look at the light through the windowpane. That means it’s noon, that means we’re inconsolable.❞ ❝Tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us.❞ ❝Tell me we’ll never get used to it.❞

DIRTY VALENTINE

❝There’s a part in the movie where you can see right through the acting, where you can tell that I’m about to burst into tears.❞ ❝I swallow your heart and it crawls right out of my mouth.❞ ❝You swallow my heart and flee, but I want it back now, baby. I want it back.❞ ❝I’m sorry. We know how it works. The world is no longer mysterious.❞

LITTLE BEAST

❝I like him and I want to be like him, my hands no longer an afterthought.❞ ❝Someone once told me than explaining is an admission of failure.❞ ❝I’m sure you remember, I was on the phone with you, sweetheart.❞ ❝History repeats itself.❞ ❝There are many names in history but none of them are ours.❞ ❝You could drown in those eyes, I said.❞ ❝But damn if there isn’t anything sexier than a slender boy with a handgun, a fast car, a bottle of pills.❞ ❝What would you like? I’d like my money’s worth.❞ ❝Sorry about the blood in your mouth. I wish it was mine.❞     ❝I couldn’t get the boy to kill me, but I wore his jacket for the longest time.❞

SEASIDE IMPROVISATION

❝Tell me you love this, tell me you’re not miserable.❞ ❝You do the math, you expect the trouble.❞ ❝Draw a circle with a piece of chalk. Imagine standing in a constant cone of light. Imagine surrender. Imagine being useless.❞ ❝A stone on the path means the tea’s not ready, a stone in the hand means somebody’s angry.❞ ❝The stone inside you still hasn’t hit bottom.❞

THE TORN-UP ROAD

❝There is no way to make this story interesting.❞ ❝I want to tell you this story without having to confess anything, without having to say that I ran out into the street to prove something.❞ ❝Tell me we’re dead and I’ll love you even more.❞ ❝And he knew it wasn’t going to be okay, and he told me it wasn’t going to be okay.❞ ❝But the minutes don’t stop.❞ ❝And words, little words, words too small for any hope or promise, not really soothing but soothing nonetheless.❞

LITANY IN WHICH CERTAIN THINGS ARE CROSSED OUT

❝You will be alone always and then you will die.❞ ❝So maybe I wanted to give you something more than a catalog of non-definitive acts, something other than the desperation.❞ ❝I’m sorry I came to your party and seduced you and left you bruised and ruined, you poor sad thing.❞ ❝You want a better story. Who wouldn’t?❞ ❝I can tell you already think I’m the dragon, that would be so like me, but I’m not. I’m not the dragon. I’m not the princess either.❞ ❝Who am I? I’m just a writer. I write things down. I walk through your dreams and invent the future.❞ ❝And yes, I swallow glass, but that comes later.❞ ❝Shut up. I’m getting to it.❞ ❝For a while I thought I was the dragon.❞ ❝Okay, so I’m the dragon. Big deal.❞ ❝You still get to be the hero.❞ ❝What more do you want?❞ ❝Are you there, sweetheart? Do you know me?❞ ❝Here is the repeated image of the lover destroyed.❞ ❝There is something underneath the floorboards.❞ ❝I arrived in the city and you met me at the station, smiling in a way that made me frightened.❞ ❝This doesn’t look that much different from home.❞ ❝Love, for you, is more than the usual romantic love. It’s like a religion. It’s terrifying.❞ ❝Okay, if you’re so great, you do it–❞ ❝Unfortunately, we don’t have that kind of time.❞ ❝I have told you where I’m coming from, so put it together.❞ ❝When I say this, it should mean laughter, not poison.❞

A PRIMER FOR THE SMALL WEIRD LOVES

❝And you know that a boy who likes boys is a dead boy, unless he keeps his mouth shut, which is what you didn’t do.❞ ❝Because you are weak and hollow and it doesn’t matter anymore.❞ ❝And the boy who loves you the wrong way is filthy.❞

UNFINISHED DUET

❝He wants to be tender and merciful.❞ ❝He meaning you.❞ ❝Do you love yourself?❞ ❝I don’t have to answer that.❞ ❝It should matter.❞

I HAD A DREAM ABOUT YOU

❝I don’t think I can take this much longer.❞ ❝In the dream I don’t tell anyone, you put your head in my lap.❞ ❝In these dreams it’s always you: the boy in the sweatshirt, the boy on the bridge, the boy who always keeps me from jumping off the bridge.❞ ❝Oh, the things we invent when we are scared and want to be rescued.❞ ❝I borrowed your shoes and didn’t put them away.❞ ❝You didn’t show up. I kept waiting.❞

STRAW HOUSE, STRAW DOG

❝You have a cold cold smile.❞ ❝Watch me, just watch me.❞ ❝I swallowed crushed ice pretending it was glass.❞ ❝I don’t really blame you for being dead but you can’t have your sweater back.❞ ❝You can sleep now, you said. You said that. I had a dream where you said that. Thanks for saying that. You weren’t supposed to.❞

PLANET OF LOVE

❝And you play along, because you want to die for love, you always have.❞

WISHBONE

❝You saved my life. I owe you, I owe you everything.❞ ❝Let’s not talk about it, let’s just not talk.❞ ❝Don’t bother. You never mean it anyway, not really, and it only makes me that much more ashamed.❞ ❝Please, for just one night, will you lie down next to me, we can leave our clothes on, we can stay all buttoned up…❞ ❝Do you see what I mean? Do you see what I’m getting at?❞ ❝If you love me, _____ , you don’t love me in a way I understand.❞ ❝Do you want to go home now?❞

Ginny: You have no idea what I'm capable of.

Blaise: Don't take it personally, but I feel like I'm being threatened by a cupcake.

[later]

Blaise: You're the scariest cupcake I've ever seen. I'm terrified.

Her hand waves about in the air with an air of dismissal, though it’s for show, as the smirk playing at the corner of her mouth would imply.  “I’m known for a lot of things, but NOT for poor company, ” there’s a pause before she clears her throat and shrugs. “      at least, not for anybody worth it. ”

What was it her father had mentioned again and again about her abrasive personality?

Catarina was busying herself with the wine list when he replies, dark eyes reading through the list of vineyards in which they were sourced. “ Not a vegetarian, no, ” though she did note with a spark of excitement at his next question that she could have been for this encounter. She could be anybody. It’s a thought that delights her more dramatic side for a moment before she settles. He interests her, and as he pointed out, that was more than she could say for most - being herself might be the only way to know if this was worth continuing. 

“ You have. Though I wouldn’t get cocky, I have been known to last till the main course before skipping out, on rare occasions, ” she closes the wine list and shifts in her seat, crossing one leg over the other, a telltale sign that she was settling in. 

“ Catarina, ” the lilt of her accent in emphasised on her name, tongue rolling on the end of it.

“ No surnames. To keep a little mystery. ”

❛ i won’t celebrate just yet then. ❜ though he does get comfortable , taking great care to choose food and drink before he sets the menu aside. this is , in its entirety , a bold venture , and he can’t help but be a bit proud. since leaving london , socialization has been so far from his mind that it almost feels otherworldly now. he spends all of his time in the vineyard , trips beyond its walls kept to an absolute minimum , and he realizes then that this night alone is the longest he’s ever been removed from it. odd.

❛ Blaise. ❜ He pays particular attention to the way her tongue rolls , tries to pinpoint what draws him in about it and can’t. Something to indulge in later , if he makes it that long. She’s intriguing in a way he must say is quite rare , drawn to the point of genuine interest in what she has to offer. ❛ It will be fun to see what we can find to talk about without revealing too much , won’t it ? Or it can be a bit of a game , collecting clues until the end. ❜ 

He claspes his hands together as the server arrives , gesturing to her so as to allow her to order first before he gives his own. Suddenly though , it feels far later than it had prior , and he attributes it to the sense that he’s up against the clock , like he might just run out of time. ❛ are you local then ? i’ll admit , i’m rather new to the area. In every sense. ❜

             it’s  strange,   to  find  zabini  there,   not  to  find  him  here  per  say  but  to  find  themselves  together  in  another  country.   but  she’s  glad  it’s  him,   she’s  glad  it’s  him  because  there’s  not  much  history  between  them,   they  barely  know  one  another   &&   his  gaze  lacks  expectations.   her  fingers  release  her  wand,   feet  stopping  next  to  him,      ❛  we  still  didn’t  speak  that  much,  i  believe.  ❜      &&   it’s  for  the  best  she  wants  to  add,   she’s  tired  of  people  trying  to  reconcile  who  she  is  with  who  she  was   ;;   hermione  granger  died  the  day  her  parents  forgot  about  her   &&   the  war  buried  her.   maybe  that’s  another  reason  to  explain  why  she  left,   she  doesn’t  have  to  lie  to  strangers,   doesn’t  have  to  fake  who  she  is.   it  gives  her  a  little  room  to  breath.

              she  finds  herself  shrugging  at  his  comment,   not  really  minding  it.      ❛  didn’t  have  much  time  to  tan  lately  to  be  honest.  ❜      hermione  likes  silence,   she’s  often  needed  it  to  study,   to  find  answers  they  had  desperately  needed,   to  mourn  what  was  lost.   brown  eyes  take  in  their  surroundings,   admiring  the  architecture,   it’s  so  different  from  the  uk,   a  gift  from  the  roman  empire,   from  the  amazing  italian  culture   ;;   if  she  had  the  heart  to,   she  would  visit  the  country.   patiently,   she  listens  to  him,   wondering  what  his  point  is,   silence  easy  to  keep  for  she  finds  herself  more  and  more  lacking  words.   there’s  an  offer  there,   eyes  slightly  narrowing  before  she  sighs.

             ❛  how  long  have  you  been  living  here  ?  since  the  end  of  the  war  ?  ❜      questions  are  easy,   she’s  always  been  full  of  them.      ❛  how  much  do  you  about  the  wizarding  part  of  the  city  ?  the  people  there  ?  ❜      hermione  has  no  wish  to  divulge  the  reasons  behind  her  trip  there,   it’s  a  secret  of  hers,   a  shame  too.   for  she’s  failing,   massively,   utterly,   she’s  entirely  failing.   there’s  her  pride  too,   a  pride  that  forbids  her  to  ask  for  help,   it’s  a  weakness  she  can’t  show.

❛  we certaintly did not , you’re right. ❜ though he can’t say he regrets it. that’s nothing against her , but he doubts he would be so well off now if he’d ended up with ties to the place that had turned mother to monster and son from sympathizer. he wants to ask about her ties , about why she’s here alone when she’d followed her friends everywhere for years , but that’s better kept for another time when this isn’t so . . . awkward. out of respect at least , he’ll keep his considerations to himself for the time being. 

still , he’s pleasant , considerate and courteous because there is no way else he has to be , not here. here , he is safe from outlandish expectations. the only things he’s now judged by are his suit and his wine , and both never fail to impress. though he imagines she’s come for neither. ❛  well , this is certainly the place for it , even for a beginner. you’ll find all the sun you need.  ❜ somehow , he manages to bite down on his tongue before pointing out the fact that she looks like she needs a bit more than a tan. all that stress on her face cannot all be left over from the war , right ?

❛  that’s right , yeah. sort of just packed up and left. ❜ he isn’t sure where she’s going with it , but it sounds more determined than conversational , and she confirms it with her follow up. raising a brow , he rocks back on heels. ❛ it’s a small part , concentrated , lots of different types of wizards and witches. a long way from britain really , much different from what you might be used to. they’re close knit , and they don’t take too kind to strangers. —but lucky for you , i’m not a stranger. ❜ 

what’s gotten into him , he doesn’t know , but he doesn’t question it. he figures he’s just trying to build on his karma. ❛  so what do you need help with ? ❜

Color Palette Challenge #96 - Blaise x Ginny

[machiavelliani]

💏 (👀👀)

send a 💏 for a random kiss / accepting.

31 …after a small rejection.

SHE LIKES TO TURN HER BACK ON HIM. and he thinks he’s begun to romanticize it. it is to believe that , when she does this , she is trying to hide the truth from him , biting down on her tongue to refrain from being honest. because how can she drift back in here like a ghost so often and say all the things she says —and doesn’t say— if she did not love him ? if she didn’t ache there too ?

❛ what are you looking for out there ? ❜

her breath fogs up the window , and he still feels it on his neck. it reminds how alive she is all over him even when she is absent. even when she is running. and he takes his place behind her –as he always does. as he always will— and offers the same kindness , his breath on her neck , his presence surrounding her. 

❛ don’t make me say it , millie. ❜

and he sounds almost ill with the thought of it , of tearing yet another piece out from beneath his ribs for her to hold between her teeth. he begs her to bite down , and nothing comes of it , but he continues this madness as though he knows something she doesn’t. or as if he knows something he doesn’t. 

he kisses her neck , tender , and he doesn’t smell of whiskey and smoke today. he smells of lavender and a good night’s sleep , and yet he’s more hungover than he’s ever been. still , he takes her arm. still , he turns her to face him. still , he asks her to close her eyes , and still , he doesn’t wait until she does.

this kiss is not like his other kisses. this kiss is almost detrimental to his health. this kiss feels like a dying breath , his body withering away as the seconds tick by. his hands tremble as they tuck themselves beneath her jaw , cradling her face in a way the alcohol has never allowed him to. and he admits it then that he’s afraid , that he has always been afraid , and he had been running towards that fear head on for some time. 

she still hasn’t let him make impact. 

but he kisses her anyway. and he kisses her again. taking more and more and more each time , testing his boundaries , seeing when her fight and flight kicks in. because it will or it won’t , but that is what it means to love her. it means to lean in and be terrified the entire time. it means to hold on even when it hurts.
