It was my birthday yesterday! I was totally all "yes, it is almost time to collect my birthday prompts" until, uh, the actual day, apparently.

So, if you don't mind my tardiness too terribly, may I have some prompts?

Happy birthday, one day late!

Thou art more lovely and more temporary."

Certainly! Happy belated birthday, and here is your prompt:

Happy birthday!

Your prompt, should you choose to accept it:
"Cold eyelids that hide like a jewel
Hard eyes that grow soft for an hour;
The heavy white limbs, and the cruel
Red mouth like a venomous flower;
When these are gone by with their glories,
What shall rest of thee then, what remain,
O mystic and sombre Dolores,
Our Lady of Pain? "
- Dolores, by A.C. Swinburne

[clare_dragonfly]

Thank you! Ooh, pain! :D
