stardust


Inspired by Amy,
I wrote this for three beautiful girls: Rush, Amy and Cam.
I hope you find your rainbows.


stardust

 nebula eyed, blue ombré girl
 wild hair with a daisy crown,
 a dreamer with a stardust soul
painted in bright, flaming hues.
 her colour is a rainbow on the canvas of life
 but there's a storm before a rainbow
 and silence before a storm.

~ You can do it. You will get through this.

effervescent

This is for Cam and Amy <3 



effervescent

 her laughter filled the room,
 bubbly and full of life.
 her eyes were overflowing with mirth,
 green and the colour of fresh grass
 her words were soft and warm,
 like a woollen blanket on an autumn evening,
 they were hopeful and bright.
 her imagination was infinite,
 the galaxies in her head wrote themselves onto paper.
 elves and martens
 amok in a forest of dreams
 her hands were rough and calloused,
 but always moving.
 dusting, baking and drawing.
 her hands kneaded clay and dough,
 dusted furniture and cocoa,
 drew robins and house plans;
 she was effervescent;
 a girl of and with dreams.
 she spread joy and stardust,
 like bubbles on a summer afternoon,
 she was a fresh whiff of perfume,
 bursting with fragrance.

demure


When I wrote this, I thought of a very special Elven princess. You know who you are <3

                                                                        


                                                   demure

Her eyes are the softest of browns,
 laughing and sparkling in delight.
 they hold promise and patience,
 old books and lessons learnt,
 forgiven mistakes and fond memories.
 her hands are delicate and graceful,
 they hold words and dedication,
 strength and humility,
 wings of hope snake around her wrists,
 her faith in humanity; eternal.
 her feet dance across the room,
 her ankles wrapped in gossamer threads.
 swift and agile,
 tapping to the rhythm of her heart,
 she is: daisies and sunflowers,
 horses and wild strawberries,
 sunsets and tea,
 braided crowns and leather boots,
 cinnamon rolls and steamed apples,
 magic and stardust. 


A/N: This was an experiment. Any comments on this?

bubbles



bubbles

sea froth and robin eggs
 fragile and breathtaking
 ribbons and balloons
 pastel dresses
snowflakes and clouds
 ball gowns and masquerades
 frost and icicles 
 frozen heart, bright eyes
 copper flames and frozen flowers
 beautiful but untouchable
delicate. 



almond




                                                                              almond

 milk and sweetness
 whiskers and dough
 waffle cones
 parchment paper
 bakeries and ovens
 ink and tattooed words
 comfort and beach sand
 seashells and summer afternoons
 curtains and covers
 blank canvases
 once upon a times and
 happily ever afters,
 beginnings.





amethyst




amethyst

 precious perfection
 lavender and elegance
 weathered over time
 yet timeless
 and priceless
 gratitude and acceptance
 steadfast patience
 fairies and minpins
 gossamer threads
 silk and flowing beauty
 angels and promises
 evenings and twilights
  peacefulness.

fandango





fandango

 raspberries and sour lemons
 fullness and satisfaction
 sunrises and sunsets
 magic and movement
 face paint and masks
 vintage love
 kindness and grace
 fireworks and smiles
 home and warm hugs
 cherry loaves and green tea
 strawberry fields and yellow brick roads
 mixed feelings and nostalgia

aureolin



aureolin

canaries and dandelions
 intensity and softness 
 bold and artistic
 yellow gets better with time 
 cheese and friendship 
 delight and summer 
 pranks and confessions
 youth and life
 mangoes and chameleons 
 warm hands and street lights
 biscuits and chai
 consistent love. 

amaranth




amaranth


love and hate
 two extremes
 nothing between
 spices and tradition
 dragons and folklore
 passion and fury
 danger and rage
 thicker than water,
 stronger than the past
 bold is beautiful
 beauty in weakness
 strength in despair
 hope and trust
 one leads to the next.

amber






                                                                               amber

 honey and cinnamon
 autumn and pumpkins
 monarchs and dusty roads
 spices and mellowness
 steamed apples and rust
 old books and leather
 elder wands and wardrobes
 laughter and crackling fires
 sparkling hazel
 drowning chocolate
 fireworks and racing hearts
 every other colour.

Note: Unless mentioned otherwise, all the photos used in the posts are mine. 

cerulean





cerulean

oceans and mist
 power and tranquility
 pebbles and sea glass
 frigidity and warmth
 sadness and loneliness
 dyes and changes
 forget-me-nots
 calm before
 the storm,
 sweaters and sundresses
 detectives and doctors
 sky and sea
 life and light.


Forever and always.

    

 forever & always

The leaves swirl, and the breeze ruffles my hair. He would have been so happy, running in  the leaves. I smile, letting myself remember him. I remember laughing as  he ran through leaves and rolled in the grass. He slept at my feet as I studied late into the night. He was an angel in the shape of my dog. My hands reach down to touch his long gone fur.  I hate myself for only remembering how his paws  lost their colour, how the smell of blood hung  around the house, taunting me.

           I hate myself for only remembering that he had to suffer so much.
