My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky: So was it when my life began; So is it now I am a man; So be it when I shall grow old, or let me die! The Child is father of the Man; And I could wish my days to be Bound to each by natural piety

My heart leaps up ~ William Wordsworth

“When we kissed the first time, your breath charred my skin and I didn’t care because I used to shake my head at people who told me that there are some pain that are pleasurable and I disagreed but the flickers of your flame felt so good, branding your scent onto me. I once read somewhere that 99% of the human body are from hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, calcium, oxygen, and phosphorus. And these elements seemed to all get along until your skin cells collided with mine and then it felt as if every atom in my body would combust. Have you ever taken an astronomy class? Molecular clouds in space collapse, come together, and crash into each other to form stars. That was how it was with you. It wasn’t just a night sky, it was the whole damn universe, from the very beginning, over and over again.”

Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.

William Wordsworth

Love seeketh not itself to please, Nor for itself hath any care, But for another gives its ease, And builds a heaven in hell's despair.

William Blake
