sleepisawelcomegadget:

Bid you brew me a warm drink

For my dreams have been unruly

In my headbound hood

My tattered hair has gotten green

I’m sick of this, sick of that

But you’re not as dumb as that

Cut open my clumsy skull

And color your maps in me

Our hearts did us wrong

So ignite the precious embers

Sleep is a welcome gadget

In our fury surrounded sea

Our bodies are due to return

In the loud, loud rain

So that our little bellies don’t speak

Bid you brew us a warm drink

Gabriel’s Horn

And from that day the skies quaked
Rich and blue, felt it in my veins
The numbing winds sliced the skin
For your approval, as long as it takes

I remember those caring needles
An omen for those who didn’t believe
That an elegant chaos flies in the clouds
Eternally looped to keep the peace

The proof is in your bones
As are the shards of your defeat
Such memories will never fade
Since the day the skies quaked

Quote
"Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the disheveled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame."

— W.B. Yeats, The Land of Heart’s Desire (via fernsandmoss)

I wonder what species find us delicious

To sever our limbs as their stomachs erupt

Viciously split our bones and ingest the warm marrow

We probably wouldn’t have to search far

Such delicacies are served right here

By our very hands

Salt & Metal

The walls are a beautiful shade of crimson

Ivory furnishings stun my retinas

You can taste the salt in the air

Trying to decide which sense you should trust

The source is in you marrow

You’re right where you should be

Though it’s a realm you can’t taste

The only ingredient is Fe

the waves

brightlightsloudnoises:

sometimes you
have to let the wave
take you down
because if you
fight it
you’ll lose
everything,

sometimes
it can’t be
beat
no matter who you are,
what you’ve done,
what you think you’re
gonna do,

so you throw the switch to
autopilot, grab
a drink and hope
there’s something left
when you
float back
up
