The Dreamer by Dulcie Deamer

The wave yearns at the cliff foot: its pale arms
        Reach upward and relapse, like down-dropped hands;
The baffled tides slip backward evermore,
        And a long sighing murmurs round the sands . . .

My heart is as the wave that lifts and falls:
       Tall is the cliff—oh! tall as that dim star
That crowns its summit hidden in a cloud—
       Tall as the dark and holy heavens are.

The sad strange wreckage of full many ships
        Burdens the bitter waters’ ebb and flow:
Gold diadems, like slowly falling flames,
        Lighten the restless emerald gulfs below;

And withered blossoms float, and silken webs,
        And pallid faces framed in wide-spread hair,
And bubble-globes that seethe with peacock hues,
        And jewelled hands, half-open, cold and fair.

Sea creatures move beneath: their swift sleek touch
       Begets sweet madness and unworthy fire—
Scaled women—triton-things, whose dark seal eyes
        Are hot and bloodshot with a man’s desire.

Their strange arms clasp: the sea-pulse in their veins
       Beats like the surf of the immortal sea—
Strong, glad and soulless: elemental joys
       Bathe with green flame the sinking soul of me.

Downward and down—to passionate purple looms,
        Athrill with thought-free, blurred, insatiate life,
Where the slow-throbbing sea-flow sways like weed
        Dim figures blended in an amorous strife—

I am enclasped, I sink; but the wave lifts,
        With all its freight of treasure and of death,
In sullen foamless yearning towards the height
        Where the star burns above the vapour-wreath;

And a deep sob goes up, and all the caves
        Are filled with mourning and a sorrow-sound.
The green fire fades: I rise: I see the star—
        Gone are the triton arms that clipped me round.

Hope beats like some lost bird against the cliff—
        The granite cliff above the burdened wave,
Whose fleeting riches are more desolate
        Than gems dust-mingled in a nameless grave . . .

When all the wordless thirsts of Time are slaked,
        And all Earth’s yearning hungers sweetly fed,
And the Sea’s grief is stilled, and the Wind’s cry,
        And Day and Night clasp on one glowing bed—

Oh! in that hour shall clay and flame be blent—
        Love find its perfect lover, breast on breast—
When dream and dreamer at the last are one,
        And joy is folded in the arms of jest.

2026 Photo #3






Finally got around to framing my black cat cross stitch.  The photo does show the tiny beads sewn on some of the diamonds (not shown the rude words used when attaching beads!).  I was very pleased with the result.

Day 7 Theme - The Lover

Today's theme is The Lover.

Here are some ideas to get you started: She is the type of person that people want to be around. She has a passion for life and wants to connect with others. How does she express this love? What is her love language? Or conversely, is love something that she shies away from?

Just go wherever the Muse takes you. If this prompt doesn't speak to you, feel free to share something that does. You can post in a separate entry or as a comment to this post.

Want to get a jump start on tomorrow's theme? Check out the prompt list in the pinned post at the top of the page. Please don't post until that day.

Top Ten Standalone Media: Films Edition

Toki's Top Ten Films (for one reason or another) for the Stuff I Love: Top Ten Edition Challenge 1 /o/

1. The Birdcage
My ultimate comfort movie. I have watched it so many times I can recite it word by word. I think of the drag number rehearsal scene with Robin Williams bursting into a celebration of dance daily. "Keep your goddamn pinky down." "Purple mountains majesty..." "FUCK the shrimp!" "It's ours." I love found family and elder queers and the pointed questions on what exactly it means to perform masculinity or femininity. It's been 20+ years and Val is still clearly the villain of the film it drives me insane (bro was also not a compelling actor lmaooo.)

2. The Mummy
Did I enjoy the 2nd film? Yes! But it's the first one I always think of and have watched repeatedly. I adore Evie. She and Rick develop so sweetly together. As a dyke I look at Brendan Fraiser in that movie specifically and think **GENDER** because his looks give soft butch to me and I've never gotten over it. The movie has action, adventure, comedy and to quote a friend, "Sometimes a 6/10 movie is your 10/10 movie." It's perfect to me!!!!!!!!

"YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RIVEEER!"

3. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
I rewatched the trilogy (movie 4&5 do not exist to me, I've never seen them and I never will) recently but the first movie really wraps up so nicely on its own I can just watch it on repeat. Jack/Will/Elizabeth are the disaster throuple of my heart. JackWill is my current obsession. Elizabeth/Anamaria and Elizabeth/Norrington are my 'Elizabeth goes on a gender and sexuality journey,' pairings. The soundtrack is bomb. The reveal of the undead curse on Barbossa's crew is SO SICK. I love attractive people being wet and windswept all the time. Jack Sparrow is a bisexual terrorist who will join or break up your marriage and I think that's beautiful.

4. Batman: The Dark Knight
One of my BATMAN MOVIES OF ALL TIME (tm). I watched this film in theaters when it came out and my mouth dropped open in shock and joy every scene. I left the theater fannish and electrified. I was in batjokes comms on LJ and this movie was like finding a strange, new buffet. Heath Ledger is my 2nd favorite Joker (Mark Hamill you will always be #1) and he fits so seamlessly into Nolanverse that I believed him for every second. His first two on screen appearances are written so tightly, I've never seen such a great example of "You do not know what this guy is going to do and it is TERRIFYING." The interrogation scene is one I rewind over and over endlessly.

5. Muppet Treasure Island
My favorite Muppet movie. "Professional Pirate," is my favorite musical number. Tim Curry is an amazing Long John Silver and I love that Miss Piggy canonically had a fling with him. I am weak to tiny outfits and there are soooo many cute ones for all the muppets. It's a fun film with a strong heart and across multiple adaptations, I often look for stories set in the future where Jim has found Silver again. I like their dynamic as a father/son or as a romantic couple \o/

6. Winnie the Pooh
One of The films of my childhood. There is something so gentle and slow moving about the original film - I love the animation of the trees and homes of all the animal friends. My wife's nickname for me is Blondie Bear and she frequently references "silly old bear," it never fails to make me smile.

7. But I'm A Cheerleader
There were many formative gay movies in my youth but this one stood above the rest. Natasha Lyonne and Clea Duvall??? Their chemistry was insaaaaaane. This movie toed the line between comedy and critically showing the harm in gay conversion camps. I loved the Ex-ex-gays and the building of community - and the ending cheerleader scene... Sapphic feels forever hhhhhh.

8. Tarzan
Upon rewatch as an adult, this shot high up on my list. Phil Collins' soundtrack still makes me emotional. I love the anatomy developed for Tarzan, and that he is a character who is so, so gentle. I believe his love story with Jane fully. I believe if Jane had been a man it would have ended up the same way.

9. Hook
Me realizing there are lots of flamboyant pirates on this list, lol. I guess I'm more into pirates than I thought. Hook was a surprise to me - Peter Pan isn't my favorite of Disney's films but this idea of a grown Peter returning really captivated me. The film was inherently magical because it captured Peter rediscovering his joy and a sense of play he gave up because he assumed he had to. The scene where he finally believes that the food is real is one of my favorites. And of course, Dante Basco as Rufio was such a scene stealer. I especially liked that regaining that belief is what allows him to connect and ultimately save his children from Hook.

10. James and the Giant Peach
Speaking of magic: one of my favorite stop-motion films (honestly, I debated which Tim Burton film would inevitably make this list and decided it had to be this one.) Of all the images, the warm glowing light from inside the peach has stuck with me all these years. The insect friends are all friends I know would have cured my fear of insects much earlier and I enjoyed at the end of the film they got to live out their dreams in New York. The live action segments aren't bad at all but the highlights for me were the stop-motion elements.

Watched A Man on the Inside with Jenn

That's a pretty good show, although she ruined it by guessing all the plot twists.

friday five

1. What did you want to be when you were a kid?

A kid. Really.

2. What is your proudest accomplishment so far?

I've lived long enough that surely there could be more than one? Perhaps it's knowing when not to respond directly to this question, which invites humblebrags.

3. What is your dream job?

Something lower stress than my previous jobs.

4. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I've always found this question (common in certain kinds of interview) to say more about the asker than the answerer. It's bullshit. Ten years before I passed my PhD quals, I had no idea I would apply to grad schools. Ten years before I was part of a team that published an award-winning scholarly bestseller, I had no idea I would work as libstaff. Those were good things to do, but I didn't plan for them.

5. What does it take to make you happy?

Accidental inversions or juxtapositions, and bits of space for contemplation. When I'm very busy, it's harder to notice anything---a thing I noticed after I began protecting time during grad school to take walks and look at random plants.

Day Three Theme - Like the first dewfall on the first grass (BtVS)


   TITLE: Like the first dewfall on the first grass https://kerk-hiraeth.dreamwidth.org/22329.html

  PROMPT: Day Three - The Caregiver

  FANDOM: Buffy the Vampire Slayer {AU}

  AUTHOR: [personal profile] kerk_hiraeth 

  RATING: PG-13

  LENGTH: 1,000

  CHARACTERS: OCs; Fatima El-baz & Sofia Blazhevich 

  SUMMARY: The duties of a Chaplain, whatever their religion are many and varied; sometimes causing reflection on their own lives.

      A/N: This story is dedicated to Father Francis Mulcahy, as played by William Christopher on M*A*S*H between 1972 and 1983. That character heavily influences my conception of the Muslim,  appointed by Buffy to be Chaplain to all the Slayers; (full name ~ Fatima Amastan Sultana Sara Tirzah Elbaz (or El-baz).
             The background to her full name and their histories will, should my muse permit, be revealed in further stories but briefly, her family is from the Atlas Mountains of Tunisia; has mostly Amazigh & Hebrew origins, with some Arab threads as well. Her wife is Jewish from a conservative Orthodox sect. The Slayer is Russian but Roman Catholic, rather than Russian Orthodox. 




  Goddess be with you, 

   Father Francis Mulcahy, as played by William Christopher
