Let’s have a picnic in the sun with champagne and raspberries
i want nothing more in this life than to look at the moon with my lover while i quietly recite my favorite poems to them
girls will see the moon everyday and be like MOON!!!?!!!?!!?!!?
Moonlight is so pure and clean that it feels like a gift.

“She wants her cup of stars.”

“A woman who writes feels too much, those trances and portents! […] She thinks she can warn the stars. A writer is essentially a spy. Dear love, I am that girl.”

“Thank you for the walks under the moon.”
— Marina Tsvetaeva, tr. by Robert Chandler, from “I’m Glad Your Sickness,”

She's my everything.
I always knew that the love of my life was not a man, my eternal love is obviously my best friend.
“The moon is a curving flower of gold, The sky is still and blue; The moon was made for the sky to hold, And I for you. The moon is a flower without a stem, The sky is luminous; Eternity was made for them, To-night for us.”

“Under a moon waning and worn and broken, Tired with summer.”
— Sara Teasdale, from February; Rivers to the Sea: Poems, 1915
“The moon grows out of the hills A yellow flower, The lake is a dreamy bride Who waits her hour.”

“White butterfly of my dark dreams,”
— Gane Todorovski, from A White Butterfly I Called My Love; Reading the Ashes: An Anthology of the Poetry of Modern Macedonia (ed. by Milne Holton & Graham W. Reid)
the moon controlling the tides sounds like something out of a fantasy novel and yet…there she is…doing That…every day…
Whatever. *disappears into the fog on my ship never to be heard of again except in legend*
sad that I’m not living in an enchanted forest
“It seems very safe to me to be surrounded by green growing things and water.”

Sometimes she becomes it.”

I have decided that I am incompatible with this reality. Meet me in a parallel universe.
If i were in a high fantasy setting i’d be corrupted by the allure of ancient and forbidden magicks SO quickly you have no idea
“I swear by the moon I am most melancholy soft, and most outrageous sentimental.”
— Edna St. Vincent Millay, from “The Lamp and the Bell,” published c. 1921 (via violentwavesofemotion)
