"Under Milk Wood"

Come closer now.
Only you can hear the houses sleeping in the streets in the slow deep salt and silent black, bandaged night. Only you can see, in the blinded bedrooms, the coms and petticoats over the chairs, the jugs and the basins, the glasses of teeth, Thou Shalt Not on the wall, and the yellowing dickybird-watching pictures of the dead. Only you can hear and see, behind the eyes of the sleepers, the movements and countries and mazes and colours and dismays and rainbows and tunes and wishes and flight and fall and despairs and big seas of their dreams.
From where you are, you can hear their dreams.
- Dylan Thomas

Thurday. Dear Diary, I found my smile again. Soulmate was late again (like always), but came with (as always) his charm and green bicycle, a basket full of indian mangoes on one hand and a young rose on another. He pulled out my locket and put our old picture in it. Now I carry the little thing with me everywhere. A memory embedded in my chest, a story of love carved in my heart.

Friday. I am sick now. My teddy never fails to remind me: "you are never be alone"

  7. My dear Haze. Your words are honey and milk. That warm, that sweet and ever so magical. I hope you get better sooner than ever so that we can share our stories with eachother on the spring moon^^
    Oh and your lovely message and comment on my blog, they both made my day, honestly! You're such a kind bunny<3 I should tell you, you don't have to be stronger or braver to visit my world, love. To tell you the truth, I'm usually too weak and much of a coward to live in it myself too. But if my world wasn't so welcoming, i wouldn't be able to call it mine at all. So, we can both survive under it's endless roof that is safer than anywhere else i have ever known.
    P.s. Sorry for failing on commenting lately, but i visit this enchanting blog of yours whenever i find time. It makes me happy and it feels like gazing a starry sky on a moonlit night<3

It feels like my heart has been bewitched by you and is keeping track of time on it's own.
