The refuge of souls

One day you will ask me which is mor important: my life or yours? I will say "mine" and you will walk away, not knowing that you are my life.

Put out my eyes, and I can see you still, Slam my ears to, I can hear you yet; And without any feet I can go to you; And tongueless, I can conjure you at will. Break off my arms, I shall teak hold of you And grasp you with my heart as with a hand; Arrest my heart, my brain will beat as true; And if you set this brain of main afire, Then on my blood-stream I yet will carry you.

-Rainer Maria Rilke

Resting in you

Tonight, my love, Let the world stay outside our door, with all its noise, its worries, and its endless demands.

Come closer, rest your head upon my sholder, and let silence speak for us. I do not need grand words, for your heartbeat near mine is a language I already understand.

The warmth of your presence, the softness of your touch, the comfort of simply holding you, these are the moments I would gladly lose track of time for.

If sleep find us, let it find us tangled in peace, wrapped in affection, and sheltered by the feeling that neither of us is alone.

For in a world that changes every day, there is something beautiful about ending the night with the one heart you never want far away.

Forever not yours

I will always love you from afar... You will never know my face, In my darkest dream, you are my star My mind is blank, my heart - a race. In dreams, you love me, My soul is yours, I'd dream a lifetime, I'd dream for more... But in real life, you will never see me... I live in the house of shadows, I bath in mystery. From the darkness of my mind, I admire your bright light, You who shine on the tallest mountain, through the deepest seas You light all my thoughts, emotions, and black memories. Forever in love, Forever not yours, Of you, my heart dreams Only. you, it adores.

C'est une question profonde sur les relations amoureuses et la mémoire émotionnelle.

I've started seeing you in everything my eyes lay sight on,

Whether it is the sun, the moon, or a random smile

I find you in every sweet perfum's scent and every flower's smell,

I find you in every place and in every thing

I find you everywhere except beside me.

The desire to hold you, touch you. It burns leaving an imprint on my skin. The thirst for you leaves me drowning. In need I wait for you to reach out to me.

Reach for me

Je n'aime comme personne, quand j'aime, moi et l'univers devenons jumeaux. Ô toi qui m'as habitée jusqu'à ce que je devienne toi. Si le monde te combat, je suis ta patrie. Si le temps t'oublie, je suis ta mémoire. Si tout le monde te trahit, je suis ta promesse qui ne trahit jamais. Je t'aime comme si j'avais été créée pour t'aimer, et comme si Dieu, en insufflant mon âme, avait d'abord placé ton nom.

Unending love

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times... In life after life, in age after age, forever. My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs, That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms, In life after life, in age after age, forever.

Wnenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age old pain, It's ancient tale of being apart or together. As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge, Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time. You become an image of what is remembered forever.

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings form the fount. At the heart of time, love of one for another. We have played along side millions of lovers, Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting, the distressful tears of farewell, Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you, The love of all man's days both past and forever: Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life. The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours- And the songs of every poet past and forever.
