When he saw her there was a recognition,
a sense that they would be together
for the rest of their lives.
She never felt the same way.
from All for Naught by Joan Currie

I have learned to put a governor on my romantic imaginings.

They took each other by the hand,
And danced a stately saraband;
Their laughter echoed thin and shrill.

Sometimes a clockwork puppet pressed
A phantom lover to her breast,
Sometimes they seemed to try to sing.

from The Harlot’s House by Oscar Wilde

Where did that lustful lover go?

Come, O come, my life’s delight,
Let me not in languor pine!
Love loves no delay; thy sight,
The more enjoyed, the more divine:
O come, and take from me
The pain of being deprived of thee!
from My Life’s Delight by Thomas Campion

I love being the object of your affection.

Well…
Maybe it’s time to be clear about who I am.
I am someone who is looking for love.
Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient,
consuming can’t live without each other love.
from Sex and the City – Season 6

Show me the man who needs the same full throttle kind of love.

He looked nothing like you
and sounded nothing like you.
But in all the important ways
he was very much you.
 poem fragment by Lauren DiMarco 

I am resigned to the fact that you are omnipresent….

America's Top Model, beautiful, Falling in Love in Six Acts - A Passion Play, Fashion, Khrystyana Kazakova, Love, Photography

© Khrystyna Kazakova

 You feel funny inside. You feel funny outside. You feel you could do anything and no one would dare laugh at you.
This love, you will treasure. You will not put it in the basement next to your rowing machine, treadmill, and thermal body sweat wrap. And you will not take this love for granted, because that is the biggest sin of all.
from Falling in Love in Six Acts (A Passion Play) an ad by Nike

Please, please, please make this feeling last…

When we get out of the glass bottles of our ego,
and when we escape like squirrels turning in the
cages of our personality
and get into the forests again,
we shall shiver with cold and fright
but things will happen to us
so that we don’t know ourselves.

Cool, unlying life will rush in,
and passion will make our bodies taut with power,
we shall stamp our feet with new power
and old things will fall down,
we shall laugh, and institutions will curl up like
burnt paper.
D.H. Lawrence 

I am yearning to feel that rush of untamed love again…

But under some other moon
Maybe?
Under some unknown sun,
Again, we two, we two might be
Always again?

I still find it hard to believe that you are gone.

America's Top Model, Edgar Allan Poe, Fashion, Khrystyna Kazakova, Photography, Poetry, The Raven

© Khrystyana Kazakova

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was broken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore?”
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, “Lenore!”-
Merely this, and nothing more.
from The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe

Who knows what radiant maiden may yet come rapping at a man’s heart?
