loneliness can fly a helicopter through a cut-out shape of a helicopter the same size as the helicopter and that's it's only skill and it isn't good enough but it's still amazing. ↗

I can’t help but notice that you keep writing love poetry to my wife. Well, you see, I married her, which makes her my wife. You know what you might want to try? Writing some poems about the sunset. The sunset isn’t fucking married. ↗

Love is a fire that burns unseen, a wound that aches yet isn’t felt, an always discontent contentment, a pain that rages without hurting, a longing for nothing but to long, a loneliness in the midst of people, a never feeling pleased when pleased, a passion that gains when lost in thought. It’s being enslaved of your own free will; it’s counting your defeat a victory; it’s staying loyal to your killer. But if it’s so self-contradictory, how can Love, when Love chooses, bring human hearts into sympathy? ↗

— Luís Vaz de Camões

আজিকে চাঁদ উঠবে প্রথম রাতে নদীর পারে নারিকেলের বনে, দেবালয়ের বিজন আঙিনাতে পড়বে আলো গাছের ছায়া-সনে । দখিন-হাওয়া উঠবে হঠাত্‍ বেগে, আসবে জোয়ার সঙ্গে তারি ছুটে- বাঁধা তরী টেউয়ের দোলা লেগে ঘাটের পরে মরবে মাথা কুটে । জোয়ার যখন মিশিয়ে যাবে কূলে, থমথমিয়ে আসবে যখন জল, বাতাস যখন পড়বে ঢুলে ঢুলে, চন্দ্র যখন নামবে অস্তাচল, শিথিল তনু তোমার ছোঁওয়া ঘুমে চরণতলে পড়বে লুটে তবে । বসে আছি শয়ন পাতি ভূমে, তোমার এবার সময় হবে কবে ? ↗

Poetry Love's Philosophy The fountains mingle with the river And the rivers with the ocean, The winds of heaven mix for ever With a sweet emotion; Nothing in the world is single, All things by a law divine In one another's being mingle— Why not I with thine? See the mountains kiss high heaven, And the waves clasp one another; No sister-flower would be forgiven If it disdain'd its brother; And the sunlight clasps the earth, And the moonbeams kiss the sea— What are all these kissings worth, If thou kiss not me? ↗

— Percy Bysshe Shelley
