they found a girl at the beach

her words all washed away

still feeling waves against her legs

and whale skin at her touch

foam in her hair, salt in her veins

so

they tell her about the sea

#poetry #haiz writes #REPOSTING because the format of a quote post made in 2013 just. breaks! fun #this poem is from over ten years ago i forgot i wrote it but it showed up when i looked for another post of course #the tumblr search function is broken in very interesting ways #the original was in norwegian and the translation needed some editing #but that's the beauty of it isn't it. a piece of art is never really truly finished. you can change it forever. and it will change without #i have a hankering to get back into actually writing poems again. it was a part of my daily life as a teen #but i dont... know how to get into that kind of space anymore. probably because it doesnt exist in the same shape #so i gotta carve it out again and it's hard!#also this is not what the poem is About but i can tell i wrote this after i watched Whale Rider (2002) for a school assignment

Love You shape-shifter Rule-breaker

I have seen you before Tried to shape you into what I wanted you to be But you will not be controlled, not by me

You never left me alone But you stepped quietly away and left me slumbering Dreams of you still in my head, but I was not feeling, only remembering

Suddenly You appear Light as a butterfly Floating on air I cannot even feel the wind around your wings It seems as if you have no destination other than to be where you are But you are here

Suddenly You change right before my eyes Powerful as an elephant Galloping across the earth I cannot feel anything but your thundering footfalls shaking me deep to my core Your course will not be altered and everyone will know your presence And you will be here

Calm, yet cacophonous Unwavering, yet malleable Omnipresent, yet only in one place

Love You shape-shifter Rule-breaker

I am learning my lesson To shape myself to you To go where you go To let your wind blow through

What else do you have to teach me? For I am listening I am here in this place with you - just us And I am trembling

#poem #I wrote this on a New Year's Day years ago #but it looks like I never posted it here #New Year's reminds me of this poem #from the vault #i need to write more poetry #love #falling in love #poetry

you know what i realized

is giving

#no im flattering myself #tales from diana #the top left is ned's drawing of me from years ago versus my self-portrait from this week #the bottom is lizzie siddal painted by dante gabriel rossetti compared to her self-portrait #my dad said 'you look angry' when he saw it lol #i am! you know me. pissed. mad.#ned knows how to make me look a pretty ingenue i must say #i do plan on drawing him soon to return the years-late favor. i wrote him poems but that was a different favor #any idiot can write poems. look at me!#anyway i must say im so happy to be drawing again. and my charcoal came in the mail today #50 pieces of vine charcoal. hallelujah #at michaels they'll charge you 5 bucks for three sticks. ridiculous #i wont say publicly how cheap i bought those 50 pieces or you ppl will never forgive me #but it's ok that should hold me off for quite awhile #but i still have a lot of catching up to do before i get to ned's level i must say. not that i anticipate it #im happy w my progress im a happy little clam

joy came to me unbeckoned

after i retired from seeking it

when i began to live in the unsuspecting

hopefulness became my friend

So small was the pup born from soot and mud. Time will move on without you, but it is finally time to forgive yourself.

Second piece of the Art Nouveau series for An Immortal Laid to Rest.

It’s fragile knowledge;

The words exist so thinly—

One could tear them up,

Or leave pages in the rain,

And they’d be gone forever.

Grief it is a thing that you know and have created

It is a beast that has grown inside of me

It started as a cold dark dread and confusion in the pit of my stomach

But it’s climbed and snaked it’s way around my heart

The sadness sunk its way in yet somehow it changed into anger

I know you win our battles and I understand that means the important heavenly ones

But why didn’t you help him win his?

You were there for me

I won mine and I can look back and see that I’m better but he never will

Yet your Earth sings with the bitty you’ve created

A beauty he’ll never get to see again

It’s a world within a world

A world of hurt inside your world of beauty

They exist together yet they don’t contradict each other

Beauty and Pain

Loss and life

I was back on my Xiyao as Schoethe (Goethe x Schiller for those who don't know) and I realized that 3zun is also a possible version of this AU. Because Goethe's girlfriend was more or less third wheeling whatever the fuck Schiller and Goethe had going on.

#me and my niche AUs that I enjoy way too much #Xiyao has too much schoethe energy in my opinion #don't question it #it does make sense for me #schoethe #xiyao #3zun #mdzs aus no one asked for #I can't find the post of mine which started the whole thing #Akikos shitpost #late night shitposting #idk what to do with this AU #my schoethe phase was years ago #all I can remember was the murder plot around Schiller and Goethe stealing Schiller's head from his grave #also Schiller's body isn't in his grave and no one knows what happened to it #they also had a lot of late night talks and their letters... oofff #it's the gayest shit ever even for that time period #also Goethe wrote homoerotic poems #xiyao as gay poets around the time of revolutions and war #nmj third wheeling the whole shit show of pining and while he wants lxc for himself but god damn the dimples #also jgy has a wife and children #qs is married to jgy but only because she got pregnant and the actual father left before she could tell him #and jgy married her and claimed the child as his to avoid any questions and shame for qs #nmj hates jgy for stealing lxc and cheating on his wife without a tiny bit of regret #yeah that's it so far

If I told you

Something inside me's busted

Tell me you think the doctors

And therapists can be trusted

If I seem to forget

How to fall asleep at night

Instruct me to close my eyes, lie still,

And breathe in deeply, to do it right

If I convince myself I'm dying

Please don't correct me

Just tell me that you'll promise

To write my eulogy

And if I start to believe

That I'll never be warm again

Remind me summer's coming—

I'll thaw out then.

#wrote this poem a couple years ago from a really rough place #and now i am in a wonderful place #i hope the new year brings you long summers

Not my dumbass looking up the poetry book to see if it was real 💀 but did you have any particular inspirations for it? Some dude named Ovid has a poetry book named Metamorphoses but idk what its about

actually that’s very flattering of you to say!! i hoped i would be able to write a poem good enough people would readily believe it would be in a real book :”)

and not ovid’s metamorphosis 😭😭😭 that is a classic im afraid i could never live up to

but as for inspiration for cocon/métamorphose, i really just built it from the themes of the fic itself, which is why i didn’t use an already existing poem/book; i wanted the poem to match the events and feeling of the fic exactly

thank you for asking!!<3

#anon #ask #metamorphosis #i was too lazy to look up existing poems so i just wrote my own snfbjdkd #the first line is pulled from a poem i wrote a few years ago that is icarus-themed though #and of course butterflies being a huge theme in metamorphosis i just used the theme of butterfly transformation #also fun fact in my original conception of this fic the title was métamorphose and there were different ‘parts’#with each part having its own title that was a phase of the butterfly cycle in french #i ended up scrapping the idea and changing the structure of the fic but i kept métamorphose and cocon just for the fake poetry book :’)

Feather

Fox trots through the meadow As I call it a day The wheat was gathered So the horses have hay Yet why do I feel This long lasting sorrow When content as a crooning roosters feather

Look up to the sky Clear flowing weather And the sorrow drifts away Like a billowing feather

Fly away Fly away Fly away feather Go search for something far far better

#old poem/song I wrote years ago #i might sing it one day #maybe #one of my two faves from my childhood #i can't clearly remember the other though #:(#poetry #song #lyrics #songwriting #writing #original song #original poetry #catis #i feel vulnerable sharing this
