            𝐔𝐍𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐑 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐁𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐍𝐎 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑        has ever done before .        pink converse firmly planted ‘pon welcoming gravel ,     sound of her steps swallowed up by the halls and rooms nearly abandoned except for the passing of people eager to catch a glimpse of bygone days .      dreamers child is no exception .       𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐒 𝐀𝐓 𝐂𝐄𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐒 𝐈𝐅 𝐈𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐖𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐊𝐘 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐕𝐄   .        marvels at the experience of standing in the midst of history .      attention is no longer focused on the group of people she is supposed to follow ,      caught by the marvel of painted flowers ‘pon canvas .    
she can imagine many days in a place like this ,       feel the summers’ breeze drifting through windows          /           imagine the glow of candles beckoning fireflies .     she does not notice the group passing ,      does not notice the stillness that comes over the room as soon as beating hearts and mumbling voices slip ‘round the corner .       𝐒𝐔𝐃𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐋𝐘 ,       𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐄 .       𝐘𝐄𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐀 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐃    .         attention is grabbed by force as she looks up from delicate painted petals ,       held like silver thread in the hands of the divine .      surely ,     she could not be blamed if she chose to wander at this point ,     could she now    ?      
Tumblr media
it is easy to get lost in a place as vast as this .      too many rooms holding their breath ,       waiting for something      (      what ,     she does not know .     )         𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐆𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐎𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐍 𝐃𝐎   .         ❝  excuse me   !   ❞      a little wave of her hand in the direction of the man standing around ,     odd ,     surely ,    but so is getting lost in a castle .      ❝  i love your outfit .  ❞      smile is beaming as distance is closed .      stands before him with only a slight shuffle of her feet .     ❝  i’m assuming you work here   ?       you do look familiar ,     i might have seen you at the beginning of the tour .      but yes ,    see ,     the tour ...   i might have lost them .  ❞

          THE CLATTER OF SHATTERING PORCELAIN          rings through the silence of small shop at the end of a long day.   the final first date bouquets made and sold,  men and women softly guided out of the building with a wave and a smile.  hand painted pot held between her hands,  a small side step to avoid the puddle on concrete floor        ;        a soothing smile to vibrating sunflowers growing towards the light bulb on the ceiling.   a dance,  with violets and roses alike,  until shadow in the corner is spotted.   
who can blame a girl for thinking it’s an intruder at first.  
Tumblr media
❝ felix   ?   ❞   own voice is drowned out by the shattering.   swallowed in the aftermath of destruction.  it sounds strange even to her own ears.   converse kicked off moments before are not even missed when she steps across the shards        /        will worry about her own pain later,  when she has assured the safety of the spider leaning against the corner for support     (     mind does not think about the missing limb,   does not connect the dots laid out before.  refuses to see the truth before her very eyes.    )       ❝ are you okay   ?     come here,   come here sweetie. ❞
        happy birthday  @tlmelcss​  have some heartbreak   !

               FEET FIND A RHYTHM TO THE SONG OF A RISING CITY     .       step into puddles with childlike glee,  dances in the rain sheltered by umbrellas of people passing her by.  if she was to be considered mad,  let it be a compliment.    ❝  hey   !  ❞    wave of her hand asks for his attention,  white converse stained brown and grey.   ❝  dance with me  ?  ❞   laughter cuts tip of her tongue,  rises like bubbles bursting in the headlights of cars passing by.   ❝ please   ?   ❞

Have an exhausted Bush who might be in need of a backrub or to rest his head in Archie's lap                                                                     @willixmbush​     
                     HUSBAND COMES HOME AND SO DO THE STARS IN NIGHTS’ SKY      ;            familiar sound of bag hitting the floor fills his ears and he cannot help but smile from his position on the couch .        scattered script and half finished cups of tea are quickly shoved to the side          -          he is aware that lovers are far more neat ,       it is he who is the whirlwind who roams through house without any regard for where he places what .            PALM OF HAND FINDS FABRIC OF SOFA ,         pats it once ,      twice ,       as ocean eyes look at lover with eyebrow raised .      it isn’t a command ,       not yet at least .        but he knows william better than the other might be willing to admit .        IF ANYTHING ,        HE KNOWS WHEN HIS LOVE REQUIRES SOFT TOUCH .        ❝     you look awful .       come here .      and don’t give me any crap about needing to put your stuff away first .   ❞       
smile is beaming when william obliges         (       either out of desire to make him happy ,      or from sheer exhaustion he does not know .      he doesn’t really care either .     )           ❝     horrible day at the office    ?     ❞         it is a joke whispered to lovers’ ear as fingers roam through dark hair           /            absentmindedly playing with strands as other hand slides up and down clothed back .        SLIGHT PRESSURE APPLIED TO TENSE MUSCLES  .        ❝     it’s okay darling ,      you can tell me about it .     ❞        kiss placed on temple ,        awkward shift of body as he folds himself forward to reach .        ❝     or if you don’t want to talk i can just babble away about this new script i got in today     ?       it’s so    cheesy    william ,    you’re absolutely going to enjoy it .     ❞

send ☕ for you muse to be set up on a blind date with mine !     @acquarone​ 
             NERVES MAKE A HOME OUT OF HER            ;            wrap around throat like vines,  swallowed down like rose petals all the same.  youngest sibling is running late,  spend too long underneath sister’s care,  nomad hands making a home out of dark curls     (    grateful for pink gerbera peaking out from behind left ear.   )     some things,  even sibling fuzzing cannot cure             trying to open a push door by pulling is one of them  !     she stands frozen for a moment,  looks around coffee shop in a manner that looks a lot like a deer caught in the headlights.

❝  caleb,  right  ?  ❞   songbird slips into empty seat,  sits on her hands in a weak attempt to stop them from reaching out.   misses the comfort of a hug,   knows her brother’s scoff well enough to know he’d be displeased if she hugged a stranger.

                     GENTLE WINDS BRING FORTH           the kindness of spring .       sun warm enough to abandon jacket ,        fingers wrapped around flower stems .      she does not care for the city ,         does not care for the ignorance that sleeps among people going through the motions of day to day life .        BUT SHE CARES FOR PEOPLE          ,              as she cares for making them smile .         stranger looks lonelier than he has any right to be on a day as beautiful as today .        personal offense taken in the absence of a smile underneath golden rays of sun .

❝     take one ,      they’re free .     ❞         single pink peony offered with a smile .     the flower isn’t special ,       life fleeting as she holds it between gentle fingers .     SHE STANDS ON HER TIPTOES     ,         waits for him to accept the gift .     ❝    i can’t sell them anymore ,     you see ,     but i don’t think tossing them out is going to do anyone any good   -    so you take it .      you have more use for it than anyone else out here ,     i think .    ❞

                 SUMMER FADES .          AUTUMN FILLS VOID          of warming sun and gentle breeze .       reigns ‘pon land with determination and intent .         bare feet in soaked grass            /              raven hair clinging to skin .         the downpour has caught her in surprise .         YET SHE DOES NOT MIND    !            heart fills with gratitude as eyes cast themselves to the heavens .          lips pressed to tight line ,     a certain sense of wonder reaching out across universe .

Send  💋  to shut my muse up with a kiss         @iinmortales​      +       cila .       
                          SON OF MOON IS MANY THINGS .          BUT QUIET     ,         he rarely is .      especially not when he allows himself to bask in the glow that she provides effortlessly .      string of words leaves his lips without any rhyme or reason behind them     -       anecdotes on a time long since passed by ,        fleeting moments retold like grand adventures only for her to hear .      there are few years when she does not stay by his side ,       very few interesting things happen to         LOVER WITH PATIENCE IN STILL HEART       ,          but he can pretend .        
fingers still rest on the keys of ancient typewriter        (         just another thing he refuses to let go of .    finally caught up with ever changing world .       he has no use for computers just yet .       )         as tongue curls itself around another sentence .          HE IS HARDLY SURPRISED WHEN HANDS CUP HIS CHEEKS         and press of lips stills all the things he still wishes to say .     mind comes to a freezing halt ,        as it always does when she shows him that even after centuries    she is not quite done with loving him yet    !            ❝     alright ,       alright you little minx .     ❞       voice is soft ,       hand reaching out to cover hers as his other comes to rest on the small of her back .         he too ,     is not quite done with loving her .        ❝    i understood the hint .      you want me to be silent .      got it ,      any more wishes ,       your highness    ?    ❞

                           DAYS PASS IN BLISS         ;          lightning strikes through springs’ skies ,         brings storms among gentle rays of weak sun .        streets become soaked ,          british weather true to its reputation once more does not hold on to tears .        it pours and pours       UNTIL SHE NEARLY WISHES SHE WAS TO BUILD AN ARK  .            perhaps then ,          heart placed gently down among creatures and set afloat ,      there would be peace .      
not that it matters      -        not when another day is close to passing .        work done for the day              ;             fresh flower placed behind ear ,       worn sneakers find familiar ground of cream tiles .            THERE IS A WELL EXPLORED LAND WHICH AWAITS     between produce and baked goods            /            even the mundane can become an adventure to those who only seek such a thing      !       
Tumblr media
gentle melody sings to songbird through pink headphones ,         holds hand of inner child and tells her that it’s        quite alright to enjoy life .       teeth bite down on bottom lip      ;          lost in thought she cannot hear the shuffle and squeaking of rubber soles on floor .            BODY MOVES BEFORE SHE CAN STOP HERSELF  ,          fingers wrapped around plastic bag of rice        /         eyes focused on fine print as back bends backwards ,    feet moving to rhythm only she can hear .    
shoulder connects to body of stranger ,         headphone slid from one ear and one ear only  .              SMILE IS BEAMING ,        INVITING TO STRANGER WITH DARK CURLS     .        ❝     sorry about that      !       i’m afraid i was lost in thought .     ❞

‘ i like the way your nails paint red stripes along my spine days after you’re gone. ’     @evermxre​   
            WANDERING SOUL FINDS NO HOME IN         abandoned churches and packed bars .        sits like bird of paradise amid carefully cleaned glasses and confession booths made out of spilling drink and stale beer .        fingers entwine idly in fabric of his shirt         /         pulls him closer until they’re chest to chest .       wandering fingertips laying claim to the curve of his shoulders ,           TAP AGAINST SKIN AS IF THEY SPELL OUT        a wordless reminder that he belongs to her now .        pillars of sanctuary overgrown by ivy ,      silently devoured by maw of ancient gods .   
Tumblr media
❝   do you now   ?   ❞      eyebrow rises ,       leg hooking around his waist to pull him closer still .        every inch of space left between them too much  .        HE IS CRAFTED FROM HONEY           /            sickly sweet ,      rotting ‘pon her tongue .     but adored all the same when licked from fingertips .       ❝   sounds to me like you’re weak .  ❞       slow growl of her voice muffled by the music still playing from old speakers .       distorted in the realm where time holds no meaning .     
❝  i don’t appreciate it when men are weak .  ❞        honesty whispered against shell of his ear ,    wandering hands now playing with golden hair at the nape of his neck .     DRAGGING OF NAILS JUST ANOTHER REMINDER    .          ❝  but i guess i’ll let it slide ,     for now ,     seeing as you’re weak for    me .       aren’t you ,     adam my dearest little thing    ?  ❞

              PERHAPS IT IS A SLIGHT HINT OF ANNOYANCE              which dares to drift through spoken words        ;          which dares to spin itself like a promise around vowels and nouns .          it isn’t much ,        just the slightest hint of it ,     but combined with the absence of an award winning smile ,        IT SURE IS THE BEST HE CAN OFFER    .         ❝     i was under the impression that we talked about this ,     peter .     ❞        wave of his hand ,    as if the motion would cause the protest of young man to fade into oblivion .        ❝     you take the penthouse while i’m not in new york .       and no ,     you do not get to disagree with me on this .    ❞

“Do you have any idea what time it is?"      @evermxre​
                  TONE OF BIRD WITH CLIPPED WINGS IS MOCKING        when she finally speaks      :         bold in nature ,       palms pressed down against wood of headboard .    a weak imitation of his tone as spoken words are repeated as a vile joke .       legs on either side of him ,        soft sheets underneath bare skin and it doesn’t really matter       (       silk or worn thread ,       it’s all the same to the sinners and saints .      )          SMILE LONGS FOR BLOOD ,         red lipstick slightly smudged .       it isn’t her fault that he had been foolish enough to allow her close .  
Tumblr media
raven hair hangs loose .        untangled .       wild .        ocean inside her chest ,      force of which demands to be felt against bruised ribs .    ❝     come on ,       sweetheart .       don’t tell me you want to sleep    ?     ❞          LAUGHTER RISES FROM DEVILISH THROAT .         vixen dips down to brush lips against his ,     sleep not yet on her mind .        ❝     what happened to rock and the clock     ?     ❞

‘  ideal  body  weight :  you  on  top  of  me .  ’        @evermxre​     
              THEY STEAL MOMENTS LIKE THEY’RE PETTY THIEVES        .        hiding away in abandoned closets .      a slight brush of fingertips in passing          /           glances underneath burning lights .      they’re criminals on the run through ever changing streets ,       wanderers without a place to call home       (      remember the tales of the travelers ,       adore their memory as mind wraps itself around the possibility that the two of you could share the same faith .      )         ADORE HIM LIKE A SECRET      .           a confession made both before the eyes of god and judge alike .       the both of them can be read like a police report ,       a long forgotten crime scene taped off by yellow tape .        this is where he kissed you first .       this is where he cut out your heart   .        
there is a bed .        of course there is a bed in a numberless room of a nameless hotel which is decorated with fake marble and fake gold .       only the best for them ,     soft sheets and pillows aplenty .       it doesn’t matter ,       not when cleaning closets have become a second home        AND THEY SKITTER AWAY IN FRIGHT FROM FLASHING CAMERA LIGHTS ALL THE SAME     .           love me .      love me like the sun  .         ❝  is that so    ?  ❞       voice is a tease ,      nestles like a sleepy cat among the bed sheets ,       curls up around discarded articles of clothing scattered around the floor like a trail of adoration .     
he crawls on top of his not-quite-lover .       dips down to adore the skin of adam’s neck with kisses ,       drinks wine from the dent of collarbone           /            bites and nips and     marks    where he knows skin will be covered by fabric come morning .        folded hands and knees pressed into hard wood of a church bench .          PLEASE FORGIVE ME FATHER FOR I HAVE SINNED      (      PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR I WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN IF HE WILL LET ME     )       voice coloured with enjoyment         ;          breathless laughter as hips slowly grind agonizingly slow .      for the first time in forever ,      he feels like they might have some time .       
❝  next time you want me on top              ❞        feral flash of teeth ,     wrists of taller man encircled by his hands .      pinned above golden haired head .       ❝           all you have to do is    ask   ,       darling .   ❞            YOU KNOW I WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER WANTED    !
