Dreaming of Hair (Li-Young Lee)
Ivy ties the cellar door in autumn, in summer morning glory wraps the ribs of a mouse. Love binds me to the one whose hair I’ve found in my mouth, whose sleeping head I kiss, wondering is it death? beauty? this dark star spreading in every direction from the crown of her head. My love’s hair is autumn hair, there the sun ripens. My fingers harvest the dark vegetable of her body. In the...

Almost-Kiss Sketches
lajeunefilleenfleur:
She smells so warm and soft in her pajamas, even from this far away. From the bar stool at her kitchen counter, you watch her scoop perfect crescents of strawberry ice cream into two matching bowls. She arranges each curl like a rose petal, nesting them tight and parallel.
The pink tip of her tongue peeks through her lips - flushed where she bites it in concentration.
You...

Silence and the Strength to Face the Tragic: A...
brittanyisinlovewithsantana:
“You have to want to listen to [silence], and then you can hear it. It has a strange, beautiful texture. It doesn’t always talk. Sometimes—sometimes it cries, and you can hear the pain of the world in it. It hurts to listen to it then. But you have to.”
— Danny Saunders, The Chosen, by Chaim Potok

Once upon a time, there were two girls, one blonde, one brunette. Both of them were very beautiful and popular; everyone knew who they were.
The girls were best friends, but for years people suspected that they might be romantically involved with one another. After all, their touches tended to…

Swimming
gleedcanon:
Quinn is momentarily confused; she thought she was on her way somewhere in a car… to meet Rachel… but now she’s in the choir room with everybody. She thinks something must be wrong; she feels a horrible pressure on her left side, but then Rachel walks in and Quinn gets distracted.

I sing the body electric: Laundry →
All of the Brittany smell should be out of it by now, washed clean by her own detergent, blown out of the fibers by the dryer. But it’s not. It clings, stubborn and impossibly delicious, to the core of the shirt Santana holds to her nose, breathing in its warmth and color.
“Babe, what are you doing?”
“Just” - Santana shakes out the shirt in her hands and folds it into thirds - “checking to...

One of the Reasons I Write Brittany
Darlings, this is difficult for me. In fact, I’ve been trying to work up to writing this essay since the beginning of last summer. There’s the question of how open and honest to be, and there’s the question of how much this will hurt.
I love Brittany for a million reasons. I find out a lot of those reasons as I watch Hemo’s performance, and I find out a lot of them as I...

explodinganyway:
Your kisses are like the moment you get out of a hot bath. They give me goose bumps, running down my skin until I get used to the cold; except I don’t think I could ever get used to your lips, the way they brush against mine like the lightest fairy landing there.
You call them bath dates, like it’s some standing appointment instead of us just needing each other’s skin...

lajeunefilleenfleur:
Your mouth is sweet-sharp, like a pomegranate seed; your mouth is a cavern where sweetness blooms and ripens.
Your lips are stained with your sweetness. They take on a brilliant translucence when I’ve been kissing you. Lit from within.
Your tongue is a cut fruit, a section of blood-orange, a revelation.
Your mouth. Your mouth. Your sweet mouth.
