meet me in november. meet me when the leaves fall, and the autumn has it's kingdom of shades, of soft golden and dark brown. meet me when the rain falls, water drops in the windows, with a good book and some kind of tea. long walks, wet soil, smell of rain, escaping of the world, running in solitude, smiling at the sky. meet me in november, when i get lost in ink and paper, and trees with yellow leaves. meet me in november, when i walk alone, in sweaters and boots, meet me in november, with the feeling of the autumn. of silent melancholy, of quiet peace and calmness, with poems in the air.

"You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth."

"I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world".

— The song of Achilles by Madeline Miller.

They lie and say that

summer ends too soon.

We can soak ourselves

in the conundrum of

mud puddles or

we can be

mindful in self-rebellion.

The cure for

cancerous ghosts isn't

death; it

is life.

So live

like a cheetah

chasing its tail.

Robert J. W. (7-3-23)

it has been a while since i have tasted your lips. it is good, i do not wish to kiss poison again

[gentle-author]

I promised

I promised to keep her safe

I promised to love her even if I don't show it

I promised to stand by her

I promised to always put her first

I promised to trust her

I promised to set her free

I promised to let her live for once

I promised to keep her private

I promised to hug her every now and then

I promised to brush her hair

I promised to style her bangs

I promised to order for her

I promised to dress her as she likes

I promised to provide her more than them

I promised to protect her

I promised to keep my promise

I promised to let her be herself

I promised to be myself.

"Don't compare her to sunshine and roses,

when she's clearly orchids and moonlight."

-Melody Lee

[moss-777]

he is the gentle and calm waters in the warmest of seas

he is the sunlight that beams through the waves

and glistens atop the surface

he is the rays of light cast across the sky

in a warm july sunrise

he is the clouds on a lazy sunday afternoon

he is my sun, moon, and stars

he is

he is

he is

he is mine

and lord knows how completely

i am his

"With everything that has happened to you, you can feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose."
