#my poetry collection

[justcallmeriah]

I understand now where I’ve seen your eyes

They’re ones my own mirror thinks to be wise

I’ve seen the same innocent look

That proves you’ve been open to the hook

I’ve seen the same sparkle of light

When a first date was going so right

I’ve seen the same pain

When the people closest to us are full of disdain

I’ve seen the vulnerability behind those earthy tones

That makes you feel the moment in your bones

These deep brown eyes of yours

Are ones that endure

Of all else, I’d like to reassure

That looking in your eyes is…

In fact…

A cure.

Books and my poetry collection

Do you have any collections? Before digital books, I bought so many books that there are still some I hadn’t read when I had to five them away. As any reader would tell you, books are sacred to readers, and re-reading some is a must. It’s a good thing I kept a few books to tide me over! As for my poetry collection, it’s my own writing, a way for me to express how the world affects me, and on…

Sometimes, I cry so hard I can feel it in my ribs. / I feel like the real me is backed into a corner inside me

ANOTHER SKETCH DUMP! Featuring more of me playing with lineless art. Batman reborn era trio (dick, damian and steph) I miss you...when will you return from war. Also featuring Steph designs bc I've seen ppl dissatisfied w/ her current look, some good mom Talia, and Jason Todd poetry club. Duke is confused not that Jason would start a poetry club but that he'd have such mid poetry opinions. (ID in Alt)

#dc comics #batfamily #damian wayne #stephanie brown #dick grayson #talia al ghul #duke thomas #cassandra cain #mine #woo new art tag. please god let me keep this up all year #uhh anyway yeah! still a big backlog of sketches but i got burnt out which means i had time to collect some #i feel like my art looks. extremely different w/o lines compared to with? idk i worry that's it weird/off-putting #but hey at the end of the day I'm hardly worrying about my brand integrity on tumblr dot com #duke and cass being at poetry club is based on them canonically being into poetry and for a good while duke and jason got along well #Steph is there for both jason and cass' emotional support (unfortunately there's a design flaw. she can't do both simultaneously) #(which is fine bc cass is fleeing the scene at the idea of having to casually hang out with jason) #(they're the exact amount of similar and more importantly different that it's like putting two firecrackers together. bad) #i really like the steph mask designs... it'd be fun to do something with them but idk what y'know? #I'm just like. if we're assuming that her mask has to be different from both babs and cass then this is what I've got as alternatives #i mostly wanted to practice character interaction with the talia and damian one... and also i love them #looking at james gunns batman movie proposal. you keep your hands OFF HER MR GUNN #please if shes evil in a movie they're never gonna let her be good in the comics again 😭 #dc when you inevitably cave and do your next big reboot let the ppl finally have the son of the demon origin (w/ tweaks of course) #idk it's canon in my heart. heartcanon if you will <3 #anyway yeah uhhhhhh enjoy?

One thing they didn’t teach us

Was that love makes you earn

It holds a mirror to you

Asking “But what have you learned?”

“The lessons I’ve given you

Are here to undo

The walls before your heart

To allow something new”

Meeting the reflection

Is something of an affliction

Until you find the direction

Of your soul’s inhibitions

It’s in these moments

That love hold you accountable

Forcing the gaze

Into something surmountable

It’s not about getting

It right the first try

But more about keeping

The vision in your eye

So don’t break the gaze

Until you work for the next phase

And continue the lessons

Each and every day

she is asking for more than/ most men are able to give,/ but she means to have what she/ has earned,/ sweet sighs, safe houses,/ hands she can trust

The houses were not Hamas. The kids were not Hamas. Their clothes and toys were not Hamas. The neighborhood was not Hamas. The air was not Hamas. Our ears were not Hamas. Our eyes were not Hamas. The one who ordered the killing, the one who pressed the button thought only of Hamas.
