Quotes tagged “Love Poem”
your tongue half chocolate, half ocean,
of the houses that you swing into,
of the steel wool hair on your head,
of your persistent hands and then
how we gnaw at the barrier because we are two.”
to choose to sleep, I’ve chosen yours...
You give me tea. That’s big of you.
I’m on my knees. I beg of you.”
I remove my jewelry and set it on the nightstand,
I unhook my ribs, spread my lungs flat on a chair.
I dissolve like a remedy in water, in wine.
I spill without staining, and leave without stirring the air.
I do it for love. For love, I disappear.”
And she does not let me sleep
And her dreams in the bright day
Make the suns evaporate.”
O, beloved as thou art!
O, lift me from the grass!
I die, I faint, I fail!
Let thy love in kisses rain
On my lips and eyelids pale.”
And no such snow is seen
Upon the heaving hawthorn bush
As crests her bodice green.
The thrushes when she’s talking
Sit listening on the tree.
If I were King of Ireland,
My Queen she’d surely be.”
while the sea destroys its perpetual statues,
collapses its towers of wild speed and whiteness:
because in the weavings of those invisible fabrics,
galloping water, incessant sand,
we make the only permanent tenderness.”
