Do you share my madness? A poem found in Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”.

[poemsbybirdie]

my yellow liaison peaceful and jubilant commune a palace made of goldenrod giant roses wrapped in heady perfume

out in the gardens are fields full of sunflowers tall as mighty forests and saffron meadows filled with gold gilded butterflies and canaries singing sweetly

Bad weather? There is none just butterscotch sunshine. perfect for picnics of sliced brie and honey

my yellow liaison peaceful and jubilant commune the petals of the forest are now falling but no matter the time that passes the gold in my eyes will keep their bright hue

Love yourself the way your dog loves you. And the way you listen to that new song on repeat. Love yourself the way your grandma loves you. -the way that she stays outside and waves goodbye until you’re just haze on the horizon.

Love yourself the way you loved Christmas morning when you were 7. Be proud of yourself - the way your mom was of your homemade cards and burnt breakfast in bed every Mother's Day Love yourself silly. Love yourself kindly. Honor your inner child.

You know when, sometimes you meet someone so beautiful, and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later, they’re as dull as a brick? Then there’s other people, and you meet them and you think, ‘Not bad; they’re okay.’ And then you get to know them, and their face sort of becomes them, like their personality is written all over it. And they just turn into something so beautiful.
