[Elijah]

Do not say my love was
A ring or a bracelet.
My love is a siege,
Is the daring and headstrong.
Who, searching sail out to their death.

Do not say my love was
A moon.
My love is a burst of sparks.

~Nizar Qabbani

[Butterbean]

“I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. You may have heard of me.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.
Harvey Fierstein

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

[snow white]

I saw a jolly hunter
with a jolly gun
Walking in the country
In the jolly sun

In the jolly meadow
sat a jolly hare
saw the jolly hunter
took jolly care

Hunter jolly eager
sight of jolly prey
forgot gun pointing
wrong jolly way(!)

Jolly hunter jolly head
over heels gone
jolly old safety catch
not jolly on!

Bang! went the jolly gun
Hunter jolly dead
Jolly hare got clean away
Jolly good I said

Charles Causely

AFTER A WHILE



After a while you learn the subtle difference between

holding a hand and chaining a soul

and learn that love doesn't mean leaning

and company doesn't always mean security

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts

and presents aren't promises

and you begin to accept your defeats

with your head up and your eyes ahead

with the grace of a woman not the grief of a child

and you learn to build all your roads on today

because tomorrows ground is too uncertain for plans

and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.



After a while you learn that even sunshine burns

if you get too much so plant your own garden

and decorate your own soul instead of waiting

for someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure

that you really are strong

and you really do have worth

and you learn

and you learn

with every goodbye you learn.

“There are women who make things better... simply by showing up. There are women who make things happen. There are women who make their way. There are women who make a difference.

[Semantics]

“Dad once noted (somewhat morbidly, I thought at the time) that American
institutions would be infinitely more successful in facilitating the pursuit of knowledge
if they held classes at night, rather than in the daytime, from
8:00 PM to 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning. As I ran through the darkness,
I understood what he meant. Frank red brick, sunny classrooms, symmetrical quads
and courts- it was a setting that mislead kids to believe that
Knowledge, that Life itself, was bright, clear, and freshly mowed.
Dad said a student would be infinitely better off going out into the world if he/she studied the periodic table of elements,
Madame Bovary, the sexual reproduction of a sunflower for example,
with deformed shadows congregating on the classroom walls,
the silhouettes of fingers and pencils leaking onto the floor, gastric howls from unseen radiators,
and a teacher's face not flat and faded, not delicately pasteled by a golden late afternoon, but serpentine, gargoyled,
Cyclopsed by the inky dark and feeble light from a candle. He/she would
understand "everything and nothing," Dad said, if there was nothing
discernible in the windows but a lamppost mobbed by blaze-crazy moths
and darkness, reticent and unfeeling, as darkness always was.”

“Never respond to an angry person with a fiery comeback, even if he deserves it...Don't allow his anger to become your anger.”

ITHACA

As you set out for Ithaca
hope your road is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.
Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
angry Poseidon – don’t be afraid of them:
you’ ll never find things like that on your way
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
as long as a rare excitement
stirs your spirit and your body.
Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
wild Poseidon – you won’t encounter them
unless you bring them along inside your soul,
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

Hope your road is a long one.
May there be many summer mornings when,
with what pleasure, what joy,
you enter harbours you’re seeing for the first time;
may you stop at Phoenician trading stations
to buy fine things,
mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
sensual perfume of every kind -
as many sensual perfumes as you can;
and may you visit many Egyptian cities
to learn and go on learning from their scholars.

Keep Ithaca always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you’re destined for.
But don’t hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so you’re old by the time you reach the island,
wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaca to make you rich.

Ithaca gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her you wouldn’t have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now.
And if you find her poor, Ithaca won’t have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
and this is the meaning of Ithaca.

Author : Konstantinos Petrou Kavafis

[sierragirrl]

I might not be someone's first choice but I am a great choice
I may not be rich but I am valuable
I don't pretend to be someone I am not, because I am good being me
I might not be proud of some of the things I have done in the past, but I am proud of who I am today
I may not be perfect but I don't need to be.
Take me as I am
or watch me as I walk away

I Cannot Live With You/////

I cannot live with You —
It would be Life —
And Life is over there —
Behind the Shelf

The Sexton keeps the Key to —
Putting up
Our Life — His Porcelain —
Like a Cup —

Discarded of the Housewife —
Quaint — or Broke —
A newer Sevres pleases —
Old Ones crack —

I could not die — with You —
For One must wait
To shut the Other's Gaze down —
You — could not —

And I — Could I stand by
And see You — freeze —
Without my Right of Frost —
Death's privilege?

Nor could I rise — with You —
Because Your Face
Would put out Jesus' —
That New Grace

Glow plain — and foreign
On my homesick Eye —
Except that You than He
Shone closer by —

They'd judge Us — How —
For You — served Heaven — You know,
Or sought to —
I could not —

Because You saturated Sight —
And I had no more Eyes
For sordid excellence
As Paradise

And were You lost, I would be —
Though My Name
Rang loudest
On the Heavenly fame —

And were You — saved —
And I — condemned to be
Where You were not —
That self — were Hell to Me —

So We must meet apart —
You there — I — here —
With just the Door ajar
That Oceans are — and Prayer —
And that White Sustenance —
Despair —

“The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation. " - Unknown

It’s spring!
when threads of green willow
twine together,
or tangle among blossoms
that are bursting their seams.

This thing called parting
Has no color
Yet it seeps into our hearts
And stains them with loneliness.

Like a wild cherry
glimpsed dimly
through a break in the mist—
that’s the kind can
stir you to desire.

Awhile on boughs too slight,
Feels them give way
Beneath her and yet sings,
Knowing that she hath wings....:olive:

wow after all those hurts, scars and bruises, after all of those trials
I really made it through
I did it I survived that which was supposed to kill me
So I straightened my crown...and walked away like a boss :princess:

Sauva; Skye
by Sudesh Mishra

A half-spent
mosquito coil
mounted on an upended fork
buoyed
inside a squat jar
brimming with smoky water
is nothing
like the swan
he saw
that neutral day
arching
its ancient ashen neck
upon the flood
of a loch
crammed with brilliant sky.
Nothing like.

Life always knows exactly what we need, what we are ready for, and when we are prepared to receive it. We are usually so busy looking behind or ahead, we miss the flow of life passing right before our eyes. Fear, anxiety, guilt, and shame fog our vision and cause us to miss the point, the lesson, and the blessing. Let us remember that right now is a blessing.

"We talk to ourselves incessantly about our world. In fact we maintain our world with our internal talk. And whenever we finish talking to ourselves about ourselves and our world, the world is always as it should be. We renew it, we rekindle it with life, we uphold it with our internal talk. Not only that, but we also choose our paths as we talk to ourselves. Thus we repeat the same choices over and over until the day we die, because we keep on repeating the same internal talk over and over until the day we die. A warrior is aware of this and strives to stop his internal talk."

[deathbypoem]

Through the thatched roof
of the temporary shelter
In the fields of Autumn
The rain drips,
and sleeves are drenched.

“It is not so incomprehensible as you pretend, sweet pea. Love is the feeling we have for those we care deeply about and hold in high regard. It can be light as the hug we give a friend or heavy as the sacrifices we make for our children. It can be romantic, platonic, familial, fleeting, everlasting, conditional, unconditional, imbued with sorrow, stoked by sex, sullied by abuse, amplified by kindness, twisted by betrayal, deepened by time, darkened by difficulty, leavened by generosity, nourished by humor and loaded with promises and commitments that we may or may not want or keep.

The best thing you can possibly do with your life is to tackle the motherfucking shit out of it.”
― Cheryl Strayed

“I loved you long before you loved me. It's the only thing I have you beat at, and I'll bring it up every chance I get.”
― Becca Fitzpatrick



I never understood why anyone would have sex on the floor. Until I was with you and I realized: you don't realize you're on the floor.”
― David Levithan


“The purpose of relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.”

Love's Language by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

How does Love speak?
In the faint flush upon the telltale cheek,
And in the pallor that succeeds it; by
The quivering lid of an averted eye--
The smile that proves the parent to a sigh
Thus doth Love speak.

How does Love speak?
By the uneven heart-throbs, and the freak
Of bounding pulses that stand still and ache,
While new emotions, like strange barges, make
Along vein-channels their disturbing course;
Still as the dawn, and with the dawn's swift force--
Thus doth Love speak.

How does Love speak?
In the avoidance of that which we seek--
The sudden silence and reserve when near--
The eye that glistens with an unshed tear--
The joy that seems the counterpart of fear,
As the alarmèd heart leaps in the breast,
And knows, and names, and greets its godlike guest--
Thus doth Love speak.

How does Love speak?
In the proud spirit suddenly grown meek--
The haughty heart grown humble; in the tender
And unnamed light that floods the world with splendor;
In the resemblance which the fond eyes trace
In all fair things to one belovèd face;
In the shy touch of hands that thrill and tremble;
In looks and lips that can no more dissemble--
Thus doth Love speak.

How does Love speak?
In the wild words that uttered seem so weak
They shrink ashamed in silence; in the fire
Glance strikes with glance, swift flashing high and higher,
Like lightnings that precede the mighty storm;
In the deep, soulful stillness; in the warm,
Impassioned tide that sweeps through throbbing veins,
Between the shores of keen delights and pains;
In the embrace where madness melts in bliss,
And in the convulsive rapture of a kiss--
Thus doth Love speak.

" Find someone who treasures you and you will live grandly, like royality."-Unknown

" Love is the passion of two hearts together, taking a dream and making it real." -Unknown


“A handsome prince, such as yourself, deserves someone who is no less than one hundred percent dedicated to him.”
― Colleen Houck

“Still, that's the point of love; you love someone despite their flaws.”
― Sophie Kinsella

[Ms. Meander]

Love is reckless; not reason.

Reason seeks a profit.

Love comes on strong, consuming herself, unabashed.


Yet, in the midst of suffering,

Love proceeds like a millstone,

hard surfaced and straightforward.


Having died to self-interest,

she risks everything and asks for nothing.

Love gambles away every gift God bestows.

Without cause God gave us Being;

without cause, give it back again.


- Rumi
