Alice in Wonderland (1951)

Rising Signs

(Use your rising sign also sun and moon sign works too but this is mostly just rising signs) Also sorry if any of these are short, no offense! I just didn’t have anything else to put.

Aries:

it’s hard to notice an Aries rising, until you just see the fire in their eyes or in their actions. You’ll often see child-like mischief in their eyes, and their laughter sounds genuine and loud. They can also look like they are being “flirty” but don’t be mistaken. You’ll notice their funny outside personality.

Taurus:

Taurus risings seem to look peaceful and laid back, always looking comfortable even when they don’t feel it deep inside. It’s hard to read a Taurus rising, and that often gives off an unsure vibe to people. Their eyes usually tell you they are sweet and harmless, when they speak it instantly catches your attention.

Gemini:

Like Aries- It’s hard to notice a Gemini rising, they seem mysterious yet laid back, they don’t usually engage in social activity too much, they don’t like being noticed much, a little bit is fine but not a lot. They like to “be in the shadows” and observe. You’ll notice they look like they are always thinking and/or planning something.

Cancer:

You’ll notice they look just adorable, and their eyes are usually bright and sparkling. Their hair is usually straight and simple, they like to be in a calm place. You’ll often find these cuties somewhere quiet, they don’t talk much nor engage in big events. They usually have a smile on their face. Cancer risings can also be self conscious, believe it or not, they like their outfits to match and flow.

Leo:

You’ll notice their eyes or their hair first, they almost have a lion-like face and hair, it’s usually wavy and thick. They usually giggle and smile a lot, It’s hard to read them, they are mysterious yet you feel like you are their friend even though you know nothing about them. They can be weird (in a good way) and outgoing but inside it’s a whole different game. They like having the correct and right outfit. If it aint right they aint going out anywhere. They also look like pure royalty.

Virgo:

You instantly notice a Virgo rising, they’ll be laughing or approach you first, they love to talk and meet new people. They are also really god at conversations and small talk. Their eyes- like Leo, are super noticeable. They almost look the definition of perfect, when seeing them they almost look like they are on a mission. And can come off fake due to just walking up and talking to people out of the blue.

Libra:

You’ll notice they have wavy hair, probably dark eyes or really bright. No in between. They often look different and unique, sometimes almost like you saw them from somewhere but you never did, they have a familiar face. They look serious and it can give off the wrong impression sometimes. They are very self conscious but at the same time don’t care what they look like. Like Taurus, they often look at home and look comfy where they are, just observing and getting things done.

Scorpio:

Their eyes tend to sparkle with joy, even when they arent feeling joy at the time. They are really charming and often look adorable, like Cancer. One look at them and they are breathtaking, they often smile the biggest too. But like Gemini, they like to observe before liking to be seen, making sure they can trust their surroundings and the people around. 

Sagittarius:

It’s hard to really notice a Sagittarius rising, they like to be guarded and like not being the center of attention. Though you might catch them looking embarrassed or running away from situations. They look mysterious yet dangerous when really they are pretty simple people. You’ll notice their clothing, real stylish yet simple. They tend to love shopping.

Capricorn:

They are utterly breathtaking, it’s hard not to notice them. They look so beautiful, something about them is just so ancient, like Libra, you’ll feel like you know them from somewhere. They also kind of blend in with everyone else almost, but they are really unique. You’ll notice their smile or long wavy hair, they like to do their hair and look really nice.

Aquarius:

Not so much noticeable, they blend in when they feel like it, they tend to pop up out of the blue. They are often unique and dress simple, they are often worried what people think of them, they hate attention. They often look shy but also ready to burst out and chat. You’ll notice their full lips and giggle.

Pisces:

They often look confused or rather, taking in their surroundings. They often get their words jumbled and dont usually talk to people in public if they plan on doing something else. They often look determined but can get side-tracked. They have thick and flowing hair usually, or just short simple hair. 

Lilac and star and bird twined with the chant of my soul, There in the fragrant pines and the cedars dusk and dim.

Smoke Like Phantoms

Smoke like souls

Crooked, gnarling ghosts that float right through you.

They are free when they are taken by the wind.

Dissipated, faded into empty air.

Until that’s all that’s left.

Empty space.

Empty?

It must still be full of ghosts.

They must be somewhere.

All the ghosts in this space alone,

How many in this house?

How many in the garden?

The forgotten patrons of this land,

An unimaginable multitude of memories.

Does anyone keep these memories still?

I want to believe that this place gave joy.

I have felt joy here.

I have seen such beauty in this land, but

It has also witnessed my pain.

It has watched my adolescence unfold.

Whoever owns this house next will never know.

Does it remain, in the ghosts

Of the smoke

That stains these walls?

Ed van der Elsken : Pierre and Paulette (Kiss with Hand Around Cheek), 1951.

Maybe love is in New York City, already asleep, and you are in California, Australia, wide awake. Maybe love is always in the wrong time zone, maybe love is not ready for you. Maybe you are not ready for love. Maybe love just isn’t the marrying type. Maybe the next time you see love is twenty years after the divorce, love is older now, but just as beautiful as you remembered. Maybe love is only there for a month. Maybe love is there for every firework, every birthday party, every hospital visit. Maybe love stays- maybe love can’t. Maybe love shouldn’t.
