Tidal Flat In Evening Sun, Advocate Harbor, NS, Canada, 7/13/2018.

A blue moon is a rare orb.

I prefer mine common and mellow.

And in such light,

I would take You,

Darling,

Slow... and... easy...

Lest our sudden, mutual combustion

Leave nothing

But nameless black Cinder.

nameless moon

name this nameless moon this sapphire blotch in our starlit sky, take it and sink it in inky blue desire, pluck its supple flowers with pale translucent lips and suck their sweet nectar of love, lay me down on its crescent hills seeped in shimmering moondust and name me too. call me darling, call me love. wild and windblown I’ll camp down on this earth near you, so close to you I will see you move and cloud me gently devour me take over everything that is mine and then, as you outshine us both - me and this dreamy nameless moon, I’ll ache for you in afterglow.

Blessed are those who arrive in our lives in silence, with light steps not to awaken our pains, not to awaken our ghosts, not to resuscitate our fears. Blessed are those who address us with lightness, kindly, speaking the language of peace so as not to frighten our souls. Blessed are those who touch our hearts with affection, look at us with respect and accept us whole with all our mistakes and imperfections. Blessed are those who give wings to our dreams and courage to our days. These people who unknowingly bring us comfort and encouragement and who naturally brighten our moments.

Welcome to Disneyland!

I don’t know what community the owners of Tumblr think they’re protecting, but mine does not exclude erotica (AKA « adult content »). This change is yet more evidence that the owners of this and other platforms are in fact publishers and should be held to account for their content. (I’m looking at you, Facebook.)
