there and back again

poetry, thoughts, book reviews, travelogue...


My name is Evelyn, and in addition to writing I enjoy painting and drawing. I specialize in portraiture, and you can find my work at elizavetarose.deviantart.com. Also, I’m kind of a dork. Find dork me at leclairage.tumblr.com...

Cries my soul

Feed me something sweet,

says my soul.

Spoon me out a little taste of happiness.

Love me something safe,

says my soul.

Savor all my faults and failings,

Savor all my woe.

Save me somehow softly,

says my soul.

Shepherd all the vagrant twistings of a fool.

Guard me somehow strongly,

says my soul.

Stop the pieces left of me

from growing back, so crookedly.
