– Ray Bradbury (via roscoe-)
pinksubmergence:
plant my head on your chest
and spend the lazy day
in contemplation. around the
wispy haze of resurrect

shine as ember, and slither
once cooled. rubbing elbows,
touching neck - brittle bones
for tomorrow.

pinksubmergence:
give your pillow a hug
give your blanket a pull
only lust keeps the bed warm
only love lullabies the fool

time's relativity
pinksubmergence:
People who have stayed long enough in happiness are always the first to admit that those joy-filled days were but hours, and those blissful hours spent were but seconds.
