my fav poem to read during valentines day

Love After Love The time will come  when, with elation  you will greet yourself arriving  at your own door, in your own mirror  and each will smile at the other's welcome,  and say, sit here. Eat.  You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart  to itself, to the stranger who has loved you  all your life, whom you ignored  for another, who knows you by heart.  Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,  the photographs, the desperate notes,  peel your own image from the mirror.  Sit. Feast on your life.  [Image ID: Carnegie Heart (1986) by Jim Dine]

Grasping the intangible

Are they the tingling feelings that you look back at or the fragments of memories that you struggle to picture in your head? Do you ever miss a person that you don’t even know? Perhaps it is an idea, a concept or a thought. You are trying to create the perfect person that will understand you, tame you and love you just like how you would. You do not seek for reciprocated love - you always feel like you want to give more and love more. It is your way of loving and who is to complain? However, a part of you aches knowing that someday when the time comes and you lay down onto a field taking your final breaths, you probably would have wanted someone to just whisper on how much they adore you, just like how ‘night breezes seem to whisper ‘I love you.’’. Gentleness but also full with affection. Somebody who can withstand you during your energetic moments and your burnt out times. Someone who will stay next to you no wonder what; someone who is not afraid to present their emotions for you and only you. Someone who will try everything just to love you, get back to you no matter what. And I promise, from the deepest roots of my heart, that I will dearly love them where every moment would feel like the first time - the rushed heartbeats, flowing hormones, aching hearts and locked eyes. We will love the way that we do - and it may be similar to others - but in the end, we know that what we have is different and special for ourselves. Beethoven’s ‘Fur Elise’. The strong faith in love that was driven between Schumann, Brahms and Clara. Like how one composes songs dedicated for another and one paints in shades of pastels reminiscing of their significant other. Like the love letters written in ink that took quite a while to pick out at the store, wrapped in delicate enveloped covered with kiss marks. Like the singing and humming dedicated for the ears of the other. It is what you want, and therefore you wait - for who knows how long, expecting that person, who will achieve accomplishment throughout a journey together with you. ——————— Hello! This is my first entry hereeee:) The picture was carefully brought here from pinterest and was in my album, I do not know any individual in the photo but they gave me great inspiration on writing this piece. The photo really speaks warmth and radiates energy IMO - so romantic!

Variation on the word sleep

By Margaret Atwood. My favorite love poem 🌹 I would like to watch you sleeping,  which may not happen. I would like to watch you,  sleeping. I would like to sleep  with you, to enter  your sleep as its smooth dark wave  slides over my head and walk with you through that lucent  wavering forest of bluegreen leaves  with its watery sun & three moons  towards the cave where you must descend,  towards your worst fear I would like to give you the silver  branch, the small white flower, the one  word that will protect you  from the grief at the center  of your dream, from the grief  at the center. I would like to follow  you up the long stairway  again & become the boat that would row you back carefully, a flame in two cupped hands  to where your body lies  beside me, and you enter  it as easily as breathing in I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed & that necessary.

Glory Box BY PortisHead ❤️‍🔥

My current obsession. Heard it in the film the Killer by David Fincher a few weeks ago and have been unable to stop listening to in since then. It’s such a sultry song.

Nilüfer yanya

Anything by her, especially her albums Painless and Inside Out. Her music is hard to categorize and combines a variety of genres. Such a unique sound.
