“Don’t you remember the
Night that spun
Wild ’round her body
Does her loss not
Make you feel so full
Of sleepless grace - liar!
If my face I could
Turn from you I would
To make me suffer the
Fate of a sinner
A heart with no passion”
Mors Syphilitica [The Woman Who Believed ]
Still haven’t broken my reading deprivation. I won’t say that it’s [...]

Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto [...]

I would like to cuddle more with my [...]

“Walk in silence,
Don’t walk away, in silence.
See the danger,
Always danger,
Endless talking,
Life rebuilding,
Don’t walk away.
Walk in silence,
Don’t turn away, in silence.
