“Reflected eyes held pain from too many vain attempts to find love in other people.”

How is it that I can drink from your lips and still crave? More and more, and even more of you.

And love stopped being love when it began to feel like a trap, instead of freedom.

I breathe in the first glimmers of freedom – it tastes of sweet hopefulness.

Wanting you has been a thirst I have not been able to quench.

I lost myself willfully in half-forgotten madness, futilely for in the throes, I still remember you.

Shadows may haunt your steps, but you will keep walking.

Although my heart has broken a thousand times, it has never lost its capacity for love.

To be the water that engulfs your skin, oh, let me be the sea you drown in.

Her thoughts are poetry, sheer beauty to behold, pay attention when she gives you a glimpse.

And every breath without you is torture, but at least I can finally breathe again.

And I’m bruised but never broken.

There is a story to tell in even the mundane, and beauty in the most unsuspecting.

And you have fast become my weakness, even as you remain my source of strength.

To be looked at and not found wanting – how beautiful to be enough.

My skin holds echoes of you; in every line, you used to trace and empty space you used to fill.

I accepted all of you – except for the vital part, that couldn’t accept all of me.

When I could not see the light with my blind eyes, I blamed not my eyes, but the sun.

A writing may be lost; a lie may be written; but what the eye has seen is truth and remains in the mind!

Any fool can turn a blind eye but who knows what the ostrich sees in the sand.

Loneliness is the first thing which God’s eye named not good.

The fields have eyes, and the woods have ears.

The heart of true womanhood knows where its own sphere is, and never seeks to stray beyond it!

He’d half meant to speak but those eyes had altered the world forever in the space of a heartbeat.

Last night, I was on the threshold of hell. To-day, I am within sight of my heaven. I have my eyes on it: hardly three feet to sever me!
