Summary: I don't really know how to summarize this. It's 420 words of description and reflection of one's lover.
Feedback: I quite like it.
Disclaimer: I think if I owned Muse, you would know about it. They're a bit famous so I doubt it'd be something easily hidden.
Warning: None. Except maybe a couple implications of sex.
Note: My birthday is in a few minutes so I wrote this to get all my nostalgic sadness out so that tomorrow will be full of awesome and happiness. If you're curious, the soundtrack to this is After the Storm by Mumford & Sons
Thanks toflavoroftea for betaing this and being adorable.
I’ve never understood the law of attraction or the physics of love. I guess I’ve always been frightened of the meanings that lie behind them. Or maybe I’ve just been afraid of you. Of the power behind your fragile bones, the grace in your eyes and the tragedy of your smile.
Afraid of how easily you could destroy me, and that sometimes all I wish is for you to do just that.
You don’t realize how much strength you truly have. How capable of annihilation you are with a flash of the darkness in your seraphic eyes.
I wish I could explain to you how persuasive your tenuous fingers are. How much they affect me when they play, dancing shapes and tracing desire across the expanse of my skin as I unravel at the sweetness of your touch.
I wish you could feel the flutter of my heartbeat drumming waves through my veins when you sigh your yearning against my lips. Wish you could taste the love that permeates through my pores, my very essence screaming and whispering the reality of its affinity.
Want to breathe you, feel you, relish you. Want to fly and to fall with you.
When you murmur esoteric beauty against my hair I want to weep. I want to remember your cries in the throes of ecstasy, melodious arpeggios fluttering as sound waves to my ears.
I want to remember the softness of your ivory skin, iridescent as the sun casts brilliance and shadow across our bodies, gleaming with the wetness of our sex and our sweat and our tears.
The radiance of your smile bleaches away shades of uncertainty and everything I need is in the passion of your embrace.
I count the shades of your ebony hair when you aren’t looking. It’s astounding to me that I always find a new one each time. The chroma of your irises creates depths that exceed the limits of the color spectrum. I used to get lost in them but now I just freefall, transcending into ethereal glory.
I want to remember your innocence, despite how you may seem. I want to remember your freedom and your elegance. Your wit, your passion, your optimism for a world that’s crumbling around us. Your paranoid frights.
I want to be there to comfort you, to hold you. To whisper against your neck that I will never hurt you.
What terrifies me the most is that in the time to come, you won’t love me like you used to.

This is so, so beautiful and perfect. ♥
But so sad! *wipes tears*
And Mumford! They're amazing, so it kind of fits. :D

Gosh, I know right. I'd never listened to Mumford before, and I was on stumbleupon and came across this playlist with that song and I completely fell in love. gah It's a gorgeous song. Glad you liked this drabble!! <33

Date: 2011-01-28 04:43 am (UTC)2. Yeah, I'm a sap. But that's that crying you like, you know?
ALL of their music is equally gorgeous. You must listen to more! I realized on the way home today how fitting "Little Lion Man" is for Matt and Dom. *sigh*

Date: 2011-01-27 10:11 am (UTC)Coming to this little piece...WOW! It was just spectacular. How do you come up with such beautiful descriptions? Really, I'm curious to know.
When you murmur esoteric beauty against my hair I want to weep. I want to remember your cries in the throes of ecstasy, melodious arpeggios fluttering as sound waves to my ears.
Those were my most favourite lines! But the last line is kinda sad. It's almost as if he is scared that Matt is so perfect and he'll lose him.
This was beautiful, hon! And you seriously have to tell me your writing secret, haha! It's just too perfect! *hugs* <333

Date: 2011-01-27 10:41 pm (UTC)Truthfully..... *conspiratorially whispers* the key to my descriptions is my bffl....thesaurus.com. NOT EVEN KIDDING. That bitch is my lifeline. Other than that...I dunno. I just...overdramatize a lot of stuff, and I guess that works in my favor xD
Thanks doll!!! <3333

Date: 2011-01-27 10:42 pm (UTC)Thank you soooo much. I wish I could convey how much you reading and commenting means to me <333
no subject
Date: 2011-01-27 12:41 pm (UTC)"In the time to come", I can't help but think of recent "news". Has this been your inspiration?
So many sad one-shots out there now; we all feel for 'our' Dommie, left all alone. :(
Thank you for this little drabble, it was truly beautiful to read. I wish I could listen to the soundtrack, but I'm at work, alas .:(
And I read it's your birthday, so I'll leave you with a big *HAPPY BITHDAY-HUG!*

Date: 2011-01-27 10:46 pm (UTC)Actually, it wasn't. I prefer to stay away from gossipy stuff. I don't really know what my inspiration was. That first paragraph popped up in my head while I was eating dinner and I just kinda went from there. Originally I planned on doing a full one-shot but it didn't feel right when I started writing more and more.
I find it quaint that people are always picking on Dom. Seriously, he's always the one who must mend the broken heart, it seems. Ah well, we love him nonetheless <3
And thank YOU for reading/commenting. Means so much, honestly. *hugs back* :D

Date: 2011-01-28 09:21 am (UTC)I think the ammount you wrote is perfect, I don't know what else you had in mind, of course, but for me the length is just right.
What exactly do you mean with "people always picking on Dom."? As in that most of these kind of drabbles and one-shots are about sad-Matt and Dom not noticing him? Because I don't think that's true; I've seen an equal ammount of fics where Dom is feeling like you've described him. Or do you mean something else entirely?
<3
no subject
Date: 2011-02-03 04:03 am (UTC)Oh, I mean like...a lot of things I've read lately, Dom has been the one being heartbroken. Dunno why, though.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-27 01:04 pm (UTC)that's pure beauty right there. wow.
so gorgeous and touching. I listened to After The Storm while reading it and it fits. Mumford and Sons are great, especially this song.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ;)

Thank you!!!! :D

Date: 2011-01-27 05:44 pm (UTC)I noticed many of you are IAMX fans and I got curious. Didn´t know him at all, so I downloaded a couple of songs and, even though he didn´t drive me crazy, the title of your LJ; THIS WILL MAKE YOU LOVE AGAIN, OH-MY-GOOOOOOOOOOSSHH, ALMOST MOVED ME TO TEARS. It´s a masterpiece and it´s my current favourite song. JEZZZ, IT´S FUCKING AMAZING o.O So, nice title´s choice! Hahaha
Just so you know xD
no subject
Date: 2011-01-27 10:51 pm (UTC)It was one of the first I heard of IAMX and I was like CRY FOREVER. I'm so glad you like it!!!

^ THIS... but I could quote the whole text, because it was beautiful! The vocabulary was epic and the story just has this aura of pureness...
Hey, Laurel, don't you dare to be sad on your birthday, yeah? :)
*sends chocolate cake*

Date: 2011-01-27 10:57 pm (UTC)Okay. So. This has possibly been the best birthday ever. And it's only just begun. Holy shit. I was like, meh last night. But I posted this and got a call from my bffl and I was like FURIOUSLY HAPPY. So happy it hurts. lmfao.
THANK YOU. *tackles*

Date: 2011-01-27 06:07 pm (UTC)secondly: wow. I love drabbles as they often hit harder than a one-shot can, and this is just perfect. Everything is described so beautifully, everything so perfect... it's like I am Dom, pretty much. Which seems a silly thing to say, but you really can feel his tangible love for Matthew.
It's very very hard to, but I picked a favourite line:
I used to get lost in them but now I just freefall, transcending into ethereal glory. that's one of those lines where I go "shit, I wish I wrote that" xD
*hugs* absolutely brilliant, wow. Hope you have a wonderful day ♥

Date: 2011-01-27 11:12 pm (UTC)Tbh, I love drabbles. So much it's crazy. I think I'm going to do them more often. *plans*
LOL I have those moments a lot, ngl.
*hugs back* Thank you so much!! <3 <3 <3
