"Prove it. Prove what? That you're Peter Parker."

"So, you're Spider-man too? Why didn't you just say that?"

[silenaabeckendorf]

“I loved you before I was born. It doesn’t make sense, I know. I saw your eyes before I had eyes to see. And I’ve lived longing for your every look ever since. That longing entered time as this body. And the longing grew as this body waxed. And the longing grows as this body wanes. That longing will outlive this body. I loved you before I was born. It makes no sense, I know. Long before eternity, I caught a glimpse of your neck and shoulders, your ankles and toes. And I’ve been lonely for you from that instant. That loneliness appeared on earth as this body. And my share of time has been nothing but your name outrunning my ever saying it clearly. Your face fleeing my ever kissing it firmly once on the mouth. In longing, I am most myself, rapt, my lamp mortal, my light hidden and singing. I give you my blank heart. Please write on it what you wish.”

— Li-Young Lee, from The Undressing: Poems; “I loved you before I was born” (via feral-ballad)

sapphic mythology: psyche

Psyche was a Greek princess who was so beautiful that she was worshipped in place of Aphrodite. When Aphrodite sent her son Cupid to punish Psyche, he scratched himself on his arrow and fell in love with her. Instead of marrying a hideous beast as Aphrodite intended, Cupid secretly marries Psyche instead, but on discovery Aphrodite forbids them to see each other until Psyche has completed a number of dangerous tasks. When she succeeds, Psyche is reunited with Cupid and becomes the goddess of the soul.
