Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
@chococolte. I appear to be having issues with sending asks so I hope this format is alright. As you can tell, by the amount of poetry I've made, I am still very much enjoying your work.
Devoted followers
Shielded by steadfast earth
Cloaked by wandering winds
Guided by mournful lightning
Warded by boundless flora
Draped in shimmering ice
Crowned in flickering flames
Guarded in elegant dew
It is for their Holiness
That they unite
If their Grace demanded for their death
To rip open their chest
And hand deliver their heart
They would without hesitation
Displayed as glorious offerings
Nothing would please them more
Than the act of pleasing their God would be
If they were ordered to bare their soul
To let their Deity into their body
And puppet their every move
They would scramble to be the first
To be honored as a vessel
They would never deny their Creator
Their belongings
Their home
Their people
Nothing mattered
Not if their Beloved called for it
The Exalted One above all
Who were they to defy your will
When even the slightest praise
Fulfilled the very purpose
For which they were born for
Perhaps it is true
That they've fallen from grace
But they could never really care
Not when their Honored One holds them so
Blessing them with tender love
And keeping them ever close
A small piece inspired by @chocoenvy's playing god series but also their writing in general. I got an error when I attempted to send it in through an ask so I don't know if it got sent through or not so here it is in post form.
Pretty little songbird
With broken wings
A melody that shatters
A voice that no longer sings
Silenced by cruelty
A delusion of lies
Fracturing mirrors
Of spiderweb scars
It is not the light that shelters
Not the winds that follows
Or the earth that steadies
Nor the storms that soothes
It is the dark that hides
The ice that guards
Steadfast and strong
The wolves of winter prowl
Fervently devoted
Even steeped in madness
They are not blind
They see and they hear
They answer the call
With little hesitation
Ruin the foolish idols
Bring the heretics to their knees
No mercy left for the merciless
An eye for an eye
You have sown this sin
So you must reap your punishment
Atone for the crime that can not be forgiven
Another small piece for @flokali and @chococolte. (I did attempt to send it through an ask but tumblr is acting up and all I get are errors so I've resorted to tagging.)
Is it not harrowing?
To see their devotions edge?
Razor sharp and paper thin
It is deadly and dangerous
Do you care?
When it is not to you
They turn their vicious nature to?
When it is soft and kind
Tender touches that never bruise?
When their loyalty will outlive the sun
The moon and the stars?
When they heed no mortal limit
To please your every whim?
Will you deny them?
Derive them of their worship
Their very purpose?
Surely you'll indulge them
After receiving a taste
Their desperation and adoration
A drink of sweet honey
Laced in cloying poison
An addiction of ichor
They'll crown you in blood
And the rarest of gems
Offering their body
As a temple to you
To desecrate as you'd like
You're caught in a loop
But it's quite alright
Revel in your glory
For as long as you please
Who are they to defy their God's will anyway?
@sagau-my-beloved, here it is! I tried to send it through an ask and failed. I got an error message instead? So I'm tagging through a post instead.
Where lightning ceases
The earth shall guard
Where geo can not follow
The wind shall accompany
It is a faithful companion
That tells of stories and songs
From places and times long past
By your side he forms
Cheerful and bright
Loving and sweet
Though it seems honey thick
Desperate and latching
Your presence is like water
A substance they cannot live without
Or perhaps pooling blood
That seeps into every crack
Sealing it tight
Leaving an aftertaste
That reeks of addiction
Perhaps you'd think it of a warning
Were it not so innocent
His joy is infectious
And his charm irresistible
Ignore the danger lurking
He is of no harm to you
A tamed pet for your eyes alone
Enrapture his gaze
And direct his blade
Change how the winds should blow
And he shall bend to your command
He is yours
So won't you be kind?
Even those who stand the trial of time
Can be even more frail than those who fall
Cherish his heart
And the world is yours
A small piece inspired by @m1d-45. I realize this is might be a little morbid for new years but I'm sick so I'm going to blame my inability to read social cues on that. Also I really had fun writing this.
You are prey in this game
Skittish and timid
Gentle and kind
They are the hunters
The predators that prowl
Hunting for your head
You are the hunted
But you are a human
Albeit one twice wronged
Hailed by the world as its God
And accused of malicious imitations
You are capable of reason
And of surrender
Powerless against the powerful
You can run
And you can hide
But you may never win
So the choice is made
Though you find it cruel
Once beloved characters
You built with time and love
From ashes to gold
And from indignity to glory
Now shall stand as your executioner
And be commended by the masses
For being the one to slay you
With the power you earned them
And the weapons you gave
They shall be your end
You find it cruel
And a tad ironic
But perhaps
If it is your favored
Death will be just a little bit kinder
I've sat upon this throne
For a century it feels
But I know
Not a decade has passed
It is velvet plush
And silken smooth
Crafted of sunbeam golds
And starshine silvers
The jewels that adorn it
Are precious and lovely
From the deepest blues
That remind me of oceans
And the empty gaze
Of a devout follower
Stained by ink and blood
The shine of peacock teal
The glimmer of amethyst violet
The spark of sunset topaz
Devotion and adoration
Swirl and coil in irises glazed
A whirlpool of desire
That drags me under
Drowning me in their affection
They've crowned me honor
Exalted me above all
Their touches are butterfly light
Their words dripping with honeydew
Their bodies for me to use
Their souls for me to savor
A title
A crown
So light upon my head
A responsibility
Utter trust and loyalty
Heavy upon my heart
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely"
I've heard it said a dozen times before
But here in this world
Paradisiacal as it is
I can't seem to care
I am their God
It's only right I take my due
A small piece based off of some of @i-put-the-yan-in-polyandry's works.
When your blood runs gold
Who will you run to?
When your wounds fade
Into shining star silver
Who will you trust?
When the world hunts for your head
For a crime you did not commit
Who deserves your favor?
When the world is kind
Where its people are not
Where will you turn?
When you are scorned
Turned away with glare and blade
Will you return to its cradle
Be embraced in its loyalty?
The world knows and will never turn
You will find safety here
Amongst the fauna and the flora
Your reign is undisputed
The world knows
Its people shall know in time
So I wonder
Where you'll end up next
Another piece inspired by @m1d-45. I have normally have great impulse control unless it's writing. Then this happens.
Instincts honed
Through years of wear
It has led them well
When their heart was torn
And their mind in shambles
So why?
Why is it now
That they fail to listen?
It pulls back
Desperate to get away
To plead for forgiveness
For ignorance and arrogance
They do not listen
Not this time
Emotions surge
As their heart thunders
Their mind races
Ignoring the sirens that blare
They raise their blade
Even as something
Someone?
In the back of their head howls
The weapon plunges
Sinking into soft flesh
The thud of a guillotine
A hasty execution
It is a graceless death
That prickles their skin
As a sense of wrongness settles
Something is not right
When they fall to their knees?
Why were they trying to heal the dead?
Why did their soul ache?
Why does it feel so wrong?
Oh.
What have they done?
A bit of a longer piece inspired by @flokali
In the quiet abyss of slumber
Stolen away from an empty home
Only to wake to familiar world
Not yours
Not quite
But close enough
You've been here before
Not as yourself
But as a traveler seeking their twin
Searching for their other half
They shouldn't know you
In fact
They shouldn't be alive
They should be codes and pixels
A world just imaginary
Just fantastical and nothing more
Yet here you were
In a bedroom not your own
Surrounded by people you've seen
You've played with
But by all means shouldn't be
You did not belong
No matter what they claim
And yet here you are
The world will change
Just as you already have
After all
Are you sure you've seen these people before?
Are you sure you do not belong here?
Do you remember your past?
Of your empty home filled with memories?
Memories you can't remember?
You don't recognize their names
And certainly not their faces
So how are you so sure you've met them before?
How are you sure you've been taken?
You're here aren't you?
They all seem so worried
And they know you so well
Hm?
Oh dear
Maybe you've been dreaming too long
You're starting to get everything mixed up
Don't worry
They'll take care of everything
And they'll take care of you
You shouldn't worry so much
I'm sure it's a little confusing
And I can sense your panic from here
Everything will be just fine
Besides
This life isn't so bad
I'm sure you'll grow to like it
It's all that you have now after all
The shatter of mirror fractals
Like the chiming of bells
A fog settles and sinks
Muddling memory and thought alike
A drop in an ocean
The ripples become waves
And the waves rise into tsunamis
As one life ends
Another begins
Stolen from a mundane world
To be exalted above all
And chained to a throne
Meant for a righteous God
Is this a blessing?
Or perhaps it is a curse
Either way
It's far too late
The die has cast
And it's already begun
No time for regrets
Not that you would remember any
Let's make the best of this
Okay?
A small piece inspired by @flokali and their works. I hope you enjoy!
Your presence was a miracle
Every touch was a blessing
Something they surely did not deserve
They were not worthy
Yet you gifted them such precious things
Indulged in their filthy desires
Allowed them so close
Adorned them with such pretty words
It drew them closer to devotion
And deeper into madness
There was nothing they would not do
Should you command them
The countries they swore themselves to
The friends they promised to never betray
It would all burn to ashes
They would stain themselves with blood
Taint their soul with sin
As long as you approved
If you smiled and praised and petted
Then they would be content
Even if the world were to crumble
And no one were to survive
As long as you were happy
There would no greater honor
Than to die in your name
So don't fret too much
Command them as you please
They would want nothing more
Than to be yours and yours alone
@m1d-45 A little piece inspired by some of your writing. I hope you'll like it!
The quiet fade to black
Waking to familiar scenes
Of an unfamiliar world
Only seen through fragile screens
The world croons in welcome
Though its sentiments aren't shared
As the people call for execution
As beloved characters turn their blade
The ones built from ashes to glory
Now set their hunt upon thee
Run and hide
The clock is ever ticking
You will always be caught
So face your death with dignity
Your blood runs starshine bright
Only seen in the burning light
But it's far too late
Your eyes shimmer and glaze
Blank and dull and unseeing
Life fades from your body
Corpse cooling in the shade
There is no time for regret
No time for forgiveness
Sunbeam golden chains bind them tight
As prayers fall from their lips
As the world mourns around them
Their mistake is unforgivable
And thus they must pay the price
The vengeance of a wretched god
Whose forgiveness is cruel
And their hunger unabating
They eat and eat
Consume til they burst
Adoration and devotion rots their teeth
Guilt and sorrow taints their tongue
Blood, sweat and tears seep into their throat
As souls line their stomach
It's not enough
Nothing is enough
A god hungers
And a soul yearns
For the piece that was torn
Lost in darkened void
They ache for something to fill the hole
That is all that remains of what they lost
To feel complete and whole
To return to a time before
When things were kinder, simpler
When hunger was not all that they were
