23/F/South African Do not go gentle into that good night. / Rage, rage against the dying of the light. / / -Dylan Thomas / 23 years old. / Appreciate art, love and poetry. / I do not like change, but there is something beautiful about it.
As the water rushes toward the surface it gently meets your fingertips and sends sensations all throughout your body It feels new and exciting Soon you find yourself completely immersed It seemed infinitely beautiful at first glance but now that you are under the surface it is quite the opposite of that |s.s|

Dear Hopeless Romantics (p.s. this is a metaphor for "love")
I remember the time when I would silently ascend your staircase and try too hard not to trip so of course I did. I would cautiously place my feet one in front of the other approaching your room only to find you asleep, hidden away in dreamland. I remember the piano sang softly out from the speakers in your phone- lost somewhere with in your covers as well. I remember I would stand there for a moment and see your peaceful face and even though you had told me to wake you, I always hesitated because I could hardly force you into the cruel reality of this world. I wish you could stay in the land that was blissful and bright, but not too bright. Your face was relaxed and your body curled up and wrapped within blankets and that is the picture I always see when I think of love in its simplest form. Not the love between a man and a woman, but between humans. The warmth a heart has and the capacity it holds. The comfort you may find in another warm soul, so inviting. The love between two humans that is eternal and means nothing other than loyalty and sincerity. That is love in its purest form.

As I look back...
there are two candles burning in the dark one is yours one is mine and though the flames never touch our lights combined brighten the room and I hope you stay because there's already enough empty space in this world

Two Candles
If I had Audrey Hepburn's class and elegance, would I catch your eye when we passed each other in a morning rush? If I had Elizabeth Taylor's eyes and body, would you stay a bit longer? If I had the simple yet perfect beauty of Grace Kelly, would you wrap your arms around me at night and make me your princess? And if you saw the lurking shadows and sensed the sadness behind my smile, just like Marilyn Monroe, would you leave me all over again?

insecurities
in the middle of the night when everything is at its quietest i feel a tug at my hair i feel a nudge in my side i feel the pull of my hand i feel a restlessness in my body something is calling me a distant land or perhaps a forgotten muse something is calling me and i cannot wait to answer

purpose
My mind drifts in this abyss And as it goes and goes and goes I cannot stop it from touching those Tender, broken, shattered pieces of what seems to be so hard to identify and erase from the mind. My mind keeps on expanding And as it goes and goes and goes It touches those forgotten, dusty little corners and invokes a new set of flames in my heart. The fire reaches the bones that keep me sane and i begin to transition into ash. The wind picks up all the particles and scatters me here and there. Finally, I am away from myself.

here and there
He stays where he should be He knows just how to shake me Fate is not to blame It all started with a red, hot flame. He takes the glint out of my eyes No longer am I in disguise Fate is not to blame It all started with the broken frame. He kissed me on the hand Politely, as if it was planned Fate is not to blame When he burns as vibrant as that flame.

Flame
I wish I could Scrape the faults off like old and worn paint From the wall I created. But my nails are worn From fighting and climbing Up these holes I somehow dig Unknowingly. As soon as I see light and breathe In the sweet scent of your presence, I slip. I fall. But I'm tired and I can't climb again this time. Not alone.

Love and other Clichés (fourth and final)
She eagerly brushes her fingers through her hair, Pupils are dilating, Biting of the lip but swiftly stops.   She was told not to. Why, she thought, why couldn't she just listen. Or maybe she did that too much. He isn't there to stop her and she hates him for that.

Love and other Clichés (3)
She couldn't look past lovers in the eyes. When realising it, she'd set them free. She found him, and fell in love with his eyes. When realising it, she'd never want to set him free.
