“I can’t exactly describe how I feel but it’s not quite right. And it leaves me cold.”
— F. Scott Fitzgerald
I told you, you'll bloom again.
In a mood to dissolve in tranquility of the Earth, to get away from the madness and chaos and just breathe freely. In a mood to surrender to love and all its limitlessness. In a mood to bathe in the warmth of the sunny air.
- Anneshwa
Susan Sontag, I, etcetera: Stories
The moments between giggling beginnings
& sobbing peripheries.
My body got well aquainted
with your amber touch,
now remains unbothered in the alleyways
of fading emotions.
My heart remained sangfroid in
your presence,
even when the entire edifice was on fire,
but now me and my little heart burn
in your longing.
- Anneshwa
the beauty of details
“I have a habit of falling in love with souls who have yet to be at peace with their bodies, their minds, their weaknesses. I try to build them, to find the parts of them that are missing in me. I end up with holes in my chest.”
