  1. 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.

  7. There were never strawberries
    like the ones we had
    that sultry afternoon
    sitting on the step
    of the open french window
    facing each other
    your knees held in mine…

  12. 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”

  15. When you go,

    there’s nothing I’d be saved by

    you fell asleep in my arms…

  20. Love is all you need: Remembering The Kingis Quair

  21. "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.

  22. "Paraclausithyron"

    Outside my girlfriend’s bolted door
    I wage a fierce domestic war
    That wakes up all the neighborhood.
    All night upon her step I’ve stood
    And I’ll be here until the dawn
    Composing a paraclausithyron,
    Unless I’m stopped before I’m through
    By flashing lights of red and blue.

  23. POETRY

    I started reading The Collected Poems of John Donne this morning. I’ve come across him here and there, but I never knew much about him or his writing. The first poem in the book is “The Good-Morrow,” which has some of the best lines on love ever. #poetry #JohnDonne #LovePoetry

  24. Will you call it love if it isn't making your soul ache for eternity. If it isn't sneaking from the hidden corners of your heart, to confront you in most unforeseen ways and ask,
    Will you walk with me when its you and your longing, will you fall for me when I am an ocean, will you fly with me like a summer breeze, will you rise with me like mist over the sea.
    Hope you are here to stay! Love. 😊
