The sword cannot do to me what you have done,
Nor is meeting my enemy like meeting you.
Even if an enemy’s arrow stayed lodged in my chest all night,
It would not hurt me as much as your eyes have.#Poetry #ArabicPoetry #LovePoetry #Heartbreak #DeepFeelings #RomanticLines #Emotional #ClassicPoetry #Words #Feelings

like the ones we had
that sultry afternoon
sitting on the step

Like the Idalian queene,
Her haire about her eyne,
With necke and brests ripe apples to be seene,
At first glance of the morne
In Cyprus gardens gathering those faire flowrs
Which of her bloud were borne…—William Drummond of Hawthornden (1585–1649), “Like the Idalian queene”

if you go,
and I should want to die,
there’s nothing I’d be saved by
more than the time
you fell asleep in my arms…—Edwin Morgan, “When You Go”

When Winter cedes to Spring at last,
She leaves a wreck behind:
A disarray, a muddled hash,
The two of them entwined.
She fights for Spring to let her stay;
She doesn’t want to go away…

No smoke without you, my fire.
After you left,
your cigarette glowed on in my ashtray
and sent up a long thread of such quiet grey
I smiled to wonder who would believe its signal
of so much love…—Edwin Morgan, “One Cigarette” 🚬

When you go,
if you go,
and I should want to die,
there’s nothing I’d be saved by
more than the time
you fell asleep in my arms
in a trust so gentle
I let the darkening room
drink up the evening…—Edwin Morgan, “When You Go” 🫂

I’ve had writers block the last few months. Actually I’ve had pretty much everything block. This is the first long form poem I’ve written in a while. It’s the first one I’ve put on my blog in over a year. Please give it a read. Please share it around. Please tell me what you think. I’m so tired of yelling into the void.

"Paraclausithyron 2"
Stupid door! Why so shut?
I’d be with her this moment, but
You stand there stubborn in between
Myself and one I’ve only seen
But no less love with all my heart.
Why keep us so estranged, apart?
Come on! I’m sure she wouldn’t throw me
Out, if she truly got to know me.#poetry #smallpoems #poetrycommunity #ancientgreece #ancientrome #roman #lyric #troubadour #classics #medieval #motif #theme #lovepoetry #stalking #irony #satire #paraclausithyron

Bring Autumn’s pleasant weather;
The moorcock springs, on whirring wings,
Amang the blooming heather…—Robert Burns, “Song, Composed in August”
