I Am Not Yours

I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.

You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.

Oh plunge me deep in love—put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.

Dreams are but hopeful fairytales

I dreamt of you last night
I dreamt you never lied
And we were naked and pure with hope seeping from our pores
I dreamt you could love me
That you wanted only me
And the way in which you wove your words didn’t sting like they did

Vacation

I’m currently in a semi-vacation this week, so please forgive the lack of posts. I hope you all are having a wonderful week, and for those suffering from the Summer heat, stay cool.

All the best,

Me

“Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one consciously, by means of certain external symbols, conveys to others the feelings one has experienced, whereby people so infected by these feelings, also experience them.” —Leo Tolstoy

#Leo Tolstoy
“Things are not all so comprehensible and expressible as one would mostly have us believe; most events are inexpressible, taking place in a realm which no word has ever entered, and more inexpressible than all else are works of art, mysterious existences, the life of which, while ours passes away, endures.” —Rainer Maria Rilke
