"Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them."
Charles Simic
I have been astonished that men
could die martyrs for their religion -
I have shudder'd at it...
I could be martyr'd for my religion
Love is my religion
And I could die for that.
I could die for you.
~ by John Keats ~
I love you - those three words have my life in them.
~ by Alexandrea to Nicholas III ~
~Rumi & I~
…The day I first heard a love story
I began to seek my beloved, but little
Did I know; I sought your beauty with
Blind eyes, and in all the wrong places
For
Love never blossoms in a secret garden
Lovers are all rooted in the hearts of
One-another
Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted.
Percy Shelley,
A Defence of Poetry, 1821.
I sought for Love
But Love ran away from me.
I sought my Soul
But my Soul I couldn't see.
Then I sought You,
And I found all three.
