A Red Door I'll cling to glimmers,
I will build thrones from this eroded edifice of chalk
breathe ocean currents easily as air,
spread out ungainly arms and wave them, falling—

I will bare out my blood when I meet ground
and lie there smiling
if only I can demonstrate for you the hope of flight
that keeps you striving. A Red Door by ~dash-of-balder

One Night in March I was drunk, of course—
that would explain
the maudlin mood I'd caught, it slipped
into me with the whiskey—

I was just drunk, and now
days late, a bit embarrassed. I
admitted all the welling glow that spilled past
booze-slicked lips, the needing of
this night, and you—

just drunk (maybe) wrapped one strong arm around me,
and you told me, "Kiddo, we will always be
around to rescue you."

On another night
when we are drunk, or maybe
if I can find the bravery, maybe
not, I'll tell you what
I held, and did not say (which you, I think,
heard anyway)

This place inside my heart
is yours, this place
is where I love One Night in March by ~dash-of-balder

Hypertension I know this is preemptive,
pretending
a loyalty or light I haven't seen, only
glimpsed echoes of—potentialities
ruthlessly dreaming, swimming
sentences into my empty head.

I understand some part of me would
like to learn to love you, wishing your hands
into antidotes
for all my stiffened aching—
the last reminder of last lover's
crackling, emaciating pain.

It turns me purple, this imagining.

It turns me bruise-soft purple, longing
after something indigo again.Hypertension by ~dash-of-balder

While I'm well aware that my dA page isn't nearly popular enough for this to make a great deal of difference to anybody, it sounds like fun!

The first 14 people to comment on this journal will get a feature from yours truly :3 I'll pick my three favorite deviations from your gallery and post it here.

HOLY CHEESE THIS HAS BEEN HERE SINCE NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. What is my problem? Ugh, I'm sorry y'all.

Regardless, here are my favorite pieces from your galleries!
