Thesleepyblueocean - The Sleepy Blue Ocean

Yosana Akiko, tr. by Sam Hamill & Keiko Matsui Gibson, from River of Stars: Selected Poems of Yosana Akiko

[Text ID: “I want, suddenly, to suck / your feverish lips with mine.”]

"All the things that have brought us pain, carve a distinct hole in our heart, and there's someone else out there with the perfect something that will fill the void. And in turn, we get to do the same for them. And suddenly, it all makes sense. It all fits. Because we haven't been forsaken. We've been prepared."

TRAVIS | MIA SHERIDAN

Who up & searching for a sense of belonging

Some days I'm the ocean. Some days I'm the ship. Tonight I'm the lighthouse: at the edge, alone, and burning.

- Vasiliki

"Mission", Leonard Cohen

I walk and walk with cold hands. Back at the house it is filled with longing, nothing to carry longing away. I look back over my life. I try to find analogies. There are none. I have longed for people before, I have loved people before. Not like this. It was not this.

- Anne Carson

Your memories flicker in my mind like snapshots - frozen in time, untouched by distance, carved into my heart.

its weird because usually when something sad happens i listen to one direction, still, after over 10 years. it's light, it's nostalgic, it's mindless and i know it better than the back of my hand

but now it doesn't feel like the comforting blanket that it usually is. now it feels hard and painful and i'm not sure what to do with that
