No trumpet sounds before him,
No silver bugles blow,
And skies are radiant o’er him,
And stars to light him glow.
from Winsome Womanhood by Margaret Sangster
I remember the intensity of your Prince Charming light.

I have seen how the cat asleep
would undulate, how the night
flowed through it like dark water;
and at times, it was going to fall
or possibly plunge into
the bare deserted snowdrifts.
Sometimes it grew so much in sleep
like a tiger’s great-grandfather,
and would leap in the darkness over
rooftops, clouds and volcanoes.
from Pablo Neruda’s poem Cat’s Dream, translated by Alastair Reid
I love the way you sleep.

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?

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…

She will never close her eyes
And she does not let me sleep
And her dreams in the bright day
Make the suns evaporate
And me laugh cry and laugh
Speak when I have nothing to say
from Lady Love by Paul Eluard
I miss the sweet intoxication that comes with first loves.

The simplicity of first love, or friendliness, the mutuality of first sympathy seems, at its initial appearance – even if merely in exciting conversation across a dinner table – to be a self-enclosed world.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea
I wish we had remained in that world…

Better or worse
But what else can we do?
And better or worse
I am tethered to you
If it’s not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?
lyrics from Who Are We Fooling by Brooke Fraser
Our bond can never be broken- no matter how hard we try.
