For the winged to explain.
The butterflies…
That were once children,
Once upon a distant time,
Climb and climb on flower stalks…
Why crawl when you can
Glide?
Why weep when you can

Where We Are“Where We Are”Where We Are
We’ve never been so far… Though the reflections of stars are caught by muted rhinestones on sidewalks… We’ve never been so far… From the moon and the glory of our thousand love stories.
Just take a look at them now: The vagrants, the fools Who threw their jewels to the dust
For a kiss from a queen in a square in her taffeta shoes…

How far could I have been? How long could it possibly take
To reach some sort of given faith: Prearranged and world-prescribed to turn your life around?
I have no room to learn


The Cult of Celluloid Idolatry“The Cult of Celluloid Idolatry”The Cult of Celluloid Idolatry
The congregation, widely spread, gazes upon the celluloid mass. A main sermon flashes, gushing with black and white Parisian madness: Flickered streetlamps, midnight waltzes, starcrossed fixtures. The accompanying serenades emboss the pastel colours of the theme In bad copied strokes of Debussy, In order to embellish the thoughtless tossing of towheaded curls
And scripted smears of rouge or gloss. These gaudy scriptures branded to our brains give us the early formations For what we wish to be and long to have in life and love: Which is only li

"The ending is brilliant. Seriously. I might get that inscribed on my casket someday so God will understand."
I don't know, I just saw your avatar and thought of that.
Welcome to dA! Off to give your gallery a look.
Oh! I picked up "Ariel" by Sylvia Plath the other day. Am working my way through it rapidly.
