and i, the diaphanous dew that rests on wilted leaves, her petals once young, strong, and suave, now but infirm and moribund. and i, the rip'ning fruit that hangs of hoary branch, his body once firm, now weathered and worn, conscious of the coming scythe. and i, the wand'ring plume, carried by the gales of june, once ensconced atop the fair swan, though i parted long ago. and i, the lacrimose heart, that ports the wounds of loss, will surcease anon to beat, and embrace my rest eterne.

lotus
your flesh— tincture of the swan’s plumage— phantasm-blanc. your eyes— suave-ciel like the pleasant waters of crete. your hair— gilded gossamer strands like the aurum silk of cambodia. your brow— grace delicacy incarnate— like the brushstrokes of hiroshige.

if all of earth's creatures were blind, would color still exist?

Question
it doesn't matter how you dress, or the music you listen to, or the movies you watch, or what your dreams are... as long as you are happy, and healthy and your actions don't harm others, keep dressing how you dress, keep listening to the music you listen to, keep watching the movies you watch, keep dreaming... do what you do never stop being you...

Be You
o the wingéd nyx! thou heed’st thy mind fatigued, and slumber seek’st. phoebus doth await, soon to arise, lucent form! such is destiny. and will i wake then, to hail his or-coated rays, to greet day's creatures. lark, thy song sweet come! diurnal clarity, come! when day alas dawns.

Nyx
when she cries, it rains when she angers, it thunders when she laughs, it shines

Rothko
eyes cerulean, hair gold-burnished, scarlet-streaked, never to be mine.

Cerulean
Still sky of ebony, So silent are the streets, Town’s quiet but I Can't sleep at all I hurt the most come eve, Jealous thoughts and scary dreams, Why can't I just turn My mind off? I've not her gilded wings, I've not his beauty, Why do I lie and say I’m not Another one of envy’s victims? I tell myself sweet things, But I still focus on this pain, And I, I wish that I could shake you From my thoughts But like snow in Summer’s heat, It just doesn’t happen, It just doesn’t happen I wish we would never meet But here we are again, Here we are again I heard you left last Spring, May came, you turned twenty-three, Moved back in with your ma and pa, But Ma hurt, and Pa would drink, I know it wasn't easy, But you stayed ‘cause you were All they got You told them you would never leave, Tired of the city, You would start a new life Far from it Mom passed next morning, Did Dad cry or say anything? Or comfort you As you wept? I know you want him to be There for you when knocks misery You just want him To care enough But like snow in Summer heat It just won’t happen, It just won’t happen When I close my eyes it's you I see, And I’m scared you’ll find someone else, I’m scared you’ve found someone else. No more’s the sky ebony, Cold dawn over Autumn streets, Another night where I Didn't sleep at all Three years, we still don't speak, I wonder how you're doing This city life's become too much Been thinking of moving, Maybe settle down, find somebody, Build something I can call my own, Well I hope fate's good to me, I've been down on my luck lately, I just hope things start looking up, And if cross our paths, then we Can share fond memories, And what we think the future holds, And like snow after Summer heat, It could always happen, It could always happen, No one knows what time will bring, We'll just have to wait and, We'll just have to wait and... Wish for the best.
