love, i hope we can be
"i wish the sky would rain down roses, as they rain from off the shaken bush. why will it not?"

One of the cruellest things you can do to another person is pretend you care about them more than you really do.

he can kiss me if he wants to

certain strangers are beautiful. at first when you meet them you are drawn to their eyes, and you don’t realise your own shimmering like moonstones until they tell you.

this night-time i am wholly able to hear the sweetly singing emotions of my volatile heart, and even if i am tired of feeling so much all the time, i still wish to feel with the intensity of spewing lava (and the softness of silk), and to never become numb, especially, so that the things dear to me shall remain so for a long time and never once lose their dearness.

half of my heart is happy while the other half dangles in fear (after all this time i still struggle with fear), as it manages to always do to hurt itself over and over. oddly yet i feel slightly, oh maybe tremendously happy that i have redness in my veins and memories of faraway places, like that place with the castle where i wore my butterfly wings, surreptitiously, and i might have collapsed if anyone had tried to touch me.

Oh, sweet emotions, gentle harmony, goodness and peace of the softened heart, melting bliss of the first raptures of love, where are they, where are they?
First Love, Ivan Turgenev

was clamouring for his heart;
no, not anymore.
a haiku for vanished feelings
Sometimes I wonder if there’s something wrong with me. Perhaps I’ve spent too long in the company of my literary romantic heroes, and consequently my ideals and expectations are far too high.
