[poems-of-madness]

“White curtains, you look at me through the sunlight. My skin burned by happiness. I look at the view from our balcony, and life melts in my hot mouth like strawberry ice cream. We skip the breakfast, we stay in bed longer, laughing. We wear fashionable sunglasses and forgot about the world. I never learned the language, I was busy learning you. You would always find me behind the white curtains, looking over the balcony. Arrogantly lucky; that you and the world are mine.”

— Saudade by Royla Asghar

“It’s really a wonder that I haven’t dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.”

It's a constant ache, so persistently there that perhaps I don't always notice it anymore. But I know it is there.

It's the reason I catch tears silently escaping when my head is distracted; my heart is not so easily deceived.

You see, when reason's resources are elsewhere occupied there's no one, nothing, to keep my heart held in one piece.

So in those simple moments, I see what is true: I am desperately mourning the absence of you.

Give me winter days spent in the golden haze of sun filtered through winter leaves. Here I'll stay, though my mind may stray, to simple dreaming of golden days still to be.

“People say I love you all the time - when they say, ‘take an umbrella, it’s raining,’ or ‘hurry back,’ or even ‘watch out, you’ll break your neck.’ There are hundreds of ways of wording it - you just have to listen for it, my dear.”

— John Patrick

“Come back and lay here with me. Let us watch the clouds go by, drifting without aim as they trace patterns in the sky. Let’s stay until the sun kisses them goodnight and the stars return to greet the moon. See the stars shimmer, see them shine; is it any wonder that our ancestors thought them divine? It almost seems as if they are smiling down at us together. Let’s smile back at them, and at each other; a secret smile like we know the future.”

“Our job now, those of us simply observing today, shocked by this awful news, our job is to love people. When it hurts. When it’s awkward. When it’s uncool and embarrassing. Our job is to stand together, to carry the burdens of one another and to meet each other in our questions.”
