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.

When true Love burns Desire is Love’s pure flame;
It is the reflex of our earthly frame,
That takes its meaning from the nobler part,
And but translates the language of the heart.
from Desire by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
You have shown me the purest form of love.

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….

But under some other moon
Maybe?
Under some unknown sun,
Again, we two, we two might be
Always again?
from Rain by Margaret Newlin
I still find it hard to believe that you are gone.

She is neither pink nor pale,
And she never will be all mine;
She learned her hands in a fairy-tale,
And her mouth on a valentine.
from Witch-Wife by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Often I am happier on my own.

Did I make the most of loving you?
So many things we didn’t do.
Did I give you all my heart could give?
Two unlived lives with lives to live.
When these endless, lonely days are through,
I’ll make the most of loving you.
I’ll make the most of loving you.
From Downtown Abbey, composer- John Lunn, lyrics – Don Black
Sung by Mary Jess
Counting the minutes until we are together again…

I don’t think I’ve been in love, but I’ve been loved
– by a couple of them, but they weren’t the right ones.
from Three Tall Women by Edward Albee
I always thought I would find the right one, but now I’m not so sure.

Dark are my eyes and hair, and my breast is white as snow,
But never a mortal may see how fair … I am fleeter than the roe.
from the poem Echo by Lucy Maud Montgomery
I love the exquisite silk organza flowers jumbled at the waist that give way to a full flouncy skirt.
