Oh Spaceman, how come you yearn to navigate everything unknown and yet you turn away from the mystery right in front of you?

An insatiable thirst to know, but lacking the hunger for understanding

You claim a desire for knowledge of all kinds, but the lie is blatantly bright and doesn't let you see, how you hindrance your own path by nominating one as more significant than the other

Does it make you feel accomplished? Perhaps clever?

Numb yourself with pats on your back, blind yourself with your own brightness and turn your back on those who support your jumps, as you step on them to get higher, until you notice no one is left to hold you back up

You can't keep away the waves from the one shore they fell in love with; they will return each day, carrying the same hope. - Laura Chouette (Profound Reverie, 2023)

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

Facing the mirror I taste my words

In my mind eye a glimpse

My heart pulses to the beat

The muscle itches and spasms

For a second, maybe

If I looked up, perhaps

Will you be there ready to fall into my arms?

Would my words reach high enough into heaven?

A distant melody sings for me, and when I open my eyes the mirror holds his tongue,

Congregation of the damned

Dream in ether

[baskervillefox]

You tried to show me your heart on your sleeve

I tried to feel your warmth

Even through the bumpy scars

Even through the harsh voice

You tried to take it all back

I would like to stay, I have a feeling it could be fine

You said you would make it okay, but it wasn't the first time

Solar eclipse

[baskervillefox]

I spotted you too quick

Could it be your height?

Could it be the way you look around?

I was oblivious last time

It's your turn now, or so I think

Yet once again you prove me wrong

Why would you hold on to the very last second?

Why would I slow down and look around?

Yet once again, I let you go

Unable to be honest

And you let me go, right?
