When you do something beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.

It's a feeling
That there is no way
I already tried to fool myself
I did everything to forget
But the truth is that I only know how to love

you belong among the wildflowers
you belong in a boat out at sea
sail away, kill off the hours
you belong somewhere you feel free

Someone will remember us
I say
even if in another time
Sappho translated by Anne Carson
Wouldnt it be wonderful
if all our letters could be published
in the future
in a more enlightened time
Then all the world could see
how in love we are
correspondence between WWII soldier Gilbert Bradley & sweetheart Gordon Bowsher

“
It was spring when we walked together
and you taught me the names of the flowers.
Lily of the valley, pear blossom, Carolina jessamine.
You turned your face to me and I felt that I had
loved you since the billowing sheet of Chaos.
How am I to go on living
after having felt that?
O, do you remember. Our many, many befores.
Maybe you hear them, stirring
from a room in you that is older
than womb. You and I did carry
candles down castle corridors as children once.
And we baked bread, and we filled pies!
We wore moonstone on our twisted fingers.
You were boy and I was fish
and when you pulled me from the water I glistened
and your father was proud.
In the kitchen that evening you cut a lemon
and squeezed a sliver
over me, giving me
moon, rain, the promise
that we would live again someday.
—lyra and the thrush ; heaven fay

You ask my why all of my writing sounds
sad, but you don't understand the way it
manifests. The way my words are strung
fairy lights, in an empty house at
midnight, trying to make all of the dark
edges beautiful again.

‘Tis a fearful thing
to love what death can touch.
A fearful thing
to love, to hope, to dream, to be –
to be,
And oh, to lose.
A thing for fools, this,
And a holy thing,
a holy thing
to love.
For your life has lived in me,
your laugh once lifted me,
your word was gift to me.
To remember this brings painful joy.
‘Tis a human thing, love,
a holy thing, to love
what death has touched.

I wanna know if you bleed sometimes
from other people’s wounds,
and if you dream sometimes
that this life is just a balloon —
that if you wanted to, you could pop,
but you never would
‘cause you’d never want it to stop.

I want you to tell me all the ways you’ve been unkind.
Tell me all the ways you’ve been cruel.
Tell me, knowing I often picture Gandhi at ten years old
beating up little boys at school.
If you were walking by a chemical plant
where smokestacks were filling the sky with dark black clouds
would you holler “Poison! Poison! Poison!” really loud
or would you whisper
“That cloud looks like a fish,
and that cloud looks like a fairy!”
Do you believe that Mary was really a virgin?
Do you believe that Moses really parted the sea?
And if you don’t believe in miracles, tell me —
how would you explain the miracle of my life to me?
See, I wanna know if you believe in any god
or if you believe in many gods
or better yet
what gods believe in you.
And for all the times that you’ve knelt before the temple of yourself,
have the prayers you asked come true?
And if they didn’t, did you feel denied?
And if you felt denied,
denied by who?

my [grand]mother moved out
of her body
decided it
was no longer worthy
it couldn't contain her laughter
she couldn't obey the house
rules of human
her spirit
that young & fresh fever
wanted to call the night her dance club
wanted to try on new clothes
stay out later
my [grand]mother now wears the world
dresses herself with the tall grass
blushes her cheeks with red clay
she laughs & a forest fire awakens
she laughs & every mountain bows
to her sharp thunder
she laughs
& each cicada begins to sing
last night Saint Paul was cloaked in steam:
fog traveled from some distant heat
no, i think
you've got it all wrong
someone must have asked my [grand]mother
to dance
—DEATH AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT A SONG

...when you speak it feels like hearing a story about the first time somebody saw the ocean, no matter what you’re saying.

"Whatever you give a woman, she will
make greater.
If you give her sp.erm, she'll give you
a baby ;
If you give her a house, she will
give you a home ;
If you give her groceries, she'll give
you a meal ;
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her
heart.
She multiplies and enlarges
what is given to
her ; so if you give her any cr.ap,
be prepared to get a ton
of sh.t. "

77% of girls think they're ugly.
50% of girls think they're fat.
100% of society should stop insulting girls on their appearances.
Some of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen ;
Look nothing like supermodels.

Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me?
And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free?
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand

Please leave format credit to 1986!
The female doesn’t want a rich man or a handsome man or even a poet, she wants a man who understands her eyes if she gets sad, and points to his chest and says : “Here is your home country.”

i hate the fact that they told you how beautiful you are. not because it isn't true, but only because they used it as a way to get closer to you. a shower of compliments that made you feel unique, made your soul glow, and made your heart feel safe. only to turn around and hurt you with poisonous actions that don't fit all the sweet words. i hate that they told you you're beautiful, because when i tell you that you are, you remember the last time you were called beautiful, and feel the opposite.

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow
up
