“Fill my heart with song Let me sing for ever more You are all I long for All I worship and adore”

i have a new addiction
to the vices i call ‘medicine’ -
but i promise it’s prescribed
chocolate, for the tears
coffee, for the head
oxytocin, for the heart
and when in need,
take all combined.

He falls asleep while I play with his hair
after he tells me my bare skin is cold and
wraps me up in his arms. Radiating warmth;
I wonder if it’s just the way he makes me
feel. He stares into my eyes until he can’t
fight it anymore and I kiss his lips gently
before untangling my fingers and soaking
up all the safety he offers before falling asleep.
It feels like a dream before the dreaming
even begins… It’s one of my favorite feelings.

I wanna talk about the way you touch me
when you’re not paying too much attention;
when your fingertips brush across my skin
quickly and gently, almost as if it didn’t
happen at all. Those moments leave me
feeling breathless; craving for more. When
you find yourself lost in the coffee that swirls
in my eyes, butterflies don’t just flutter in my
stomach, they sing. Bringing flowers to bloom.
I hear them talking in the depths of my soul;
chattering on about how you’re the one and I swoon.
Melting into the river of emotions I can never seem
to dry out; I flow through so quickly that
I’ve lost my breath all over again and…
It. Feels. So. Good.

I wish that
Across your back
Was a zipper.
And that I
Could crawl in.
So close, again.
TheRubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is one of the most famous works of Persian literature. These two editions are from the Peter Pauper Press. The first (1940) is illustrated by Paul McPharlin with border designs by Carl Cobbledick, who was inspired by ancient Persian manuscripts. The other (1949) is illustrated by Vera Bock, a Russian illustrator. These translations were both done by Edward Fitzgerald, but the McPharlin/Cobbledick edition is from Fitzgerald’s first-edition text, while the Bock is from the fourth edition. These are just two of the many beautiful editions of the Rubaiyat!

Feelings come to me in waves
A wave of sadness
I feel fine, and then again
A wave of loss
I hope you don’t miss me
And all that remains for you
Is a peaceful sea
Because letting go
Seemed like the right thing to do

“I’ll lend you my soul in exchange of your hands”
“It wasn’t you who did the hurting, it was my high expectations”
“How I envy so the half of me, who lived before love’s due, who was yet to know of you.”
“But despite all the reasons I shouldn’t think of you, I still do”
“I wish I could go back to a time when I only believed good things about you”
“The secret is no one gets what they want without losing who they are”
