FLORAL FOXES

tiger hearts




there once was a girl that was wilder than than the earth beneath our feet.
her hair was like piles of roses wilting in the summer sun.
her hands were snow-white plaster. slips of swan-wings, bleached whalebone fingers.
and when she spoke, one thought of warm chocolate and the sea and kissing in the grass.
she wanted to be
nothing more than a nothing.
a secret locked up in gold-colored ribcages
swallowing dust.
still she shone out like sun on water.

  14. There is no such thing as an adjective quite like the one I would need to tell you how your words are, let alone how they made me feel. I'm so overwhelmed by the beauty of this, by the words and pictures you built up around my mind. I'm in a world of my own, and I only have you to thank, you beautiful soul.
    I look so forward to getting lost in the oasis that is your blog for as long as possible. Until next time, you beautiful, beautiful dove.

    Yours,
    Norah of "let's run away"
