(I will never forgive Millais for painting Ophelia calm in the water. My cousin Noah died shoeless and struggling under a lonely mans hands, his eyes full of rain runoff. Real people dont sink as pretty as oil on canvas: Noah was four feet five on the autopsy slab, no flowers, no frames. I am ruled by the aesthetic, but I would embrace his every imperfection if it meant having him back. This clumsy dilettante still loves Noah with the scabs on his shins, sitting sloppy at Sams recitals in sneakers and shorts. Give me the asymmetry of his eyelashes. For the fir

A Legacy of Wisdom
You have scribed your words,
wealthy wreaths of wisdom,
on paper never torn or worn.
You have etched your passions
on my brow.
You have left this wallowed world

the torrents of the monsoon, Ill know
that Lears been there before, and
Ill not swoon.
And if Hades doors open up
before my stranded soul, and scorch
it with the heat of hell, Ill recall that
I am not the first Dantes been down
there as well.

that her skin is a blank canvas, that hair grows,
the value of the right kind of disrespect. that the older
we get, the more we need the people who knew us
when we were young. I will tell my daughter
to give away the secrets that keep her up at night,
and that there is never a wrong time to love someone,
but sometimes a wrong way. I will teach my daughter
to travel without makeup; that sometimes forever means
morning and sometime

Full Title: My Room of Unicorns Whose Eyes Have Seen Too Much
Special thanks to =kiwi-damnation and =TheFulkrum for being my mini-editors/helpers. Lovelovelove you both. ♥
I like roman numerals. This is darker and grittier than I usually write and in all honesty I'm actually pretty happy...
I like feeling inspired lately. (:

1. inhale.
There are shadows around you, little threads of darkness that remind you of sticky Sundays spent under the bed, hoping your parents wouldn't notice you and whisk you off to church.
But now the shadows are darker (they grew as you did) and they skim over your skin like velvet. You can almost taste them, as you melt closer into the walls, like particles of dust on your tongue.
You thought running away would be hard, but you have never felt so whole.
2. exhale.
