#i guess its poetry

[incinerated]

COME BURNING ANGEL,

TOILING, ENDLESS IN YOUR GRIEF,

HOWING AND WHIRLING AS THE BLADES PIERCE YOUR CHEEK

YOUR EYES

YOUR RIBS

YOUR THROAT

COME BURNING ANGEL,

SWORD OF ENDLESS LIGHT

YOU WHO ARE IRON, YOU WHO ARE STEEL,

SHATTER ME WITH THE SHAPE OF YOUR SORROW, THE ENDLESSNESS OF IT ALL

HEAR ME AND KNOW THAT I TOO HEAR YOU

#GUNKJUNK #I GUESS ITS POETRY #OK TO RB. FOR WHATEVER REASON

What Is Dark

The scariest time for me is not the middle of the night. I know what is there when I can't see, the fae, living in their undisturbed bliss, the fireflies dancing in a world designed just for them. No, that's not scary at all.

What's scary, is the moments before that. The dregs of light decaying as the sun sets so I can see the bold beasts where they taunt us. I can see everything I thought I was afraid of as a kid, what I thought was in the unfiltered blackness.

But that is just a metaphor. I fear not what the world expects. I fear the men that hide just barely in the dark, the men that know their unforgivable crimes will be forgiven by the other man. Because that's whats important to them. No one is out and about in the middle of the night. I can see the fireflies. But still I am afraid.

I fear the horrible people that hurt us, that hurt the other women, by saying that the men are excusable because clearly its the woman's fault. Clearly its because they chose to wear what the world sees as "gross".

When will their crimes be seen as gross? When will we get justice for what happens when their backs are turned? Because its our fault that their backs are turned.

When will I not have to fear What Is Dark.

i cry

not because i’m sad

but because when you reach a certain point in your life where you can only go up from rock bottom…

you become afraid of the light

i wish they saw themselves the way i see them

i wish they saw their art the way i see it

the way they see other art, other people

they work so hard to see the beauty in everything

except themselves, except things they create

My Love,

if you could only believe you are as beautiful as i see you.

if you could only look upon your art as if you were not its creator

Martin Blackwood writing extremely mediocre poetry for himself and himself alone in his late 20s is like soooo endearingly cringey but then YOU try writing extremely mediocre poetry for yourself and yourself alone in your late 20s and it's like OH. OH GIRL I GET IT!

#martin blackwood #tma #literally like. its so fun and soothing #everyone should have something that they enjoy and are aggressively mediocre at #also you'll never guess who's got some insomnia and is writing poetry in my notes app #i definitely WONT be sooo cringefail and post it in the morning #and it definitely WON'T be thinly veiled as being about doctor who

shout-out to the makers of NBC Hannibal for (clearly) reading all four books about Hannibal Lecter by Thomas Harris and going "hmm. actually we will make the gayest possible version of this" going on to COMPLETELY disregard the other main character and (canon) ?love interest? of the series and never even MENTION Clarice Starling. Like it's so funny to me that she never even appears on the show when book!Will Graham literally fucks off after The Red Dragon and wants nothing to do with any of this anymore and book!Hannibal is obsessed with Clarice in the same way that tv!Hannibal is obsessed with tv!Will. like they really took a whole book franchise, picked out the cherries, and made it their own personal little gay AU. that's so refreshing and should be a leading example in television adaptations. in this essay i will

#hannibal #hannigram #hannibal lecter #will graham #Clarice Starling #thomas harris #nbc hannibal #mp #i actually like clarice as a character though #but i do think that the red dragon is the best book of the series and they get worse and worse #also they have nothing to do with the show when it comes to aesthetics #they're literally just action filled crime thrillers. they feel very to the point‚ very technical and practical and sober #whereas the show is literally just art and poetry and emotions and meaning and simply beautiful #i also love that the show treats its female characters so much better than the books #the books feel very masculine which is just due to the time of publishing i guess #i feel like a lot of books written and published by men in the 80s/90s have this very brutalist straight forward no emotions style #but yeah. the people who made the show really went all out with it and i love how their interpretation is kinda just high scale fanfiction #like i respect that so much and also: goals

how do you decipher

the differences and nuances

between friendship and love

platonic attraction or affection

how do you ask

someone to explain

their feelings for you

in a comprehensible way

without making things awkward

is it just too hard to say

'hey this is how i like you'

how do you want to engage?

oh hush now, there is no need to be afraid of the storm. it is a hungry creature, can you hear its stomach growling? see it's tongue flicking about in the darkness? it's saliva dripping down upon the dry earth?

I want to maul something and feel the flesh and blood underneath my lips and teeth.

Thrash, tear, and eat. After the rush of chasing prey, wearing it out before I can get a jump on it.

I want to smell blood.

"the harsh sun beats down on dirt roads full of pebbles and dust.

its harsh rays peel the paint on the slowly decaying houses. all of the grass has long since died in the heat.

most of the houses are empty, and they have been so for a long time. some of the houses have sun-bleached curtains flapping in empty wind, shattered glass from once clean windows now littering the ground in thousands of dirty, yellowed shards like fallen, tarnished stars."

another lacking baked good, and this time, light mousse only whispers dark cocoa, and bright effervescence escapes orange jelly—

am i growing too ambitious, too eccentric, too convoluted for my own good, or did the years my hands lived forget me?

i fear i have grown too big for this world, allowing half-sincere words to inflate this ego, convinced i could be one of the greats, but

i am no baker, no chef claire saffitz— just a kid who slaps together half-baked ideas and whips ganache into unsavory messes;

nor a poet, no sweet sylvia plath— just a girl who ties drab feelings into words like strings of fake, ugly pearls, and tries

dear reader, to convince you they're worth seeing, and as much as i dig my fists into the ground to pull from it my long-buried conviction,

and as much as this universe allows these insipid words to fall from my lips into the hand that writes half-legible script,

i am no poet— just half-baked words and half-baked dreams, nothing to eat or worthy enough to read.

— s. f. solstice, "there is no dessert"
