marina v., fall in love with my mind. (via ehlizataylor)

do not tell me
i am like a walking piece of art;
tell me instead
i am an artist,
a galaxy of potential unseen.
love me
for more than skin deep.

Adonis, from “Unintended Worship,” If Only the Sea Could Sleep (Green Integer, 2003)

How many people, she wondered, truly listen?

Andrea Gibson, from “Piano” in The Madness Vase (via pigmenting)

We all have bullets beneath our skin
we pray our lovers won’t flinch at when they find.
