I will let you...

I will only let you touch me, if your hands are so full of intention, that every brush of your palms feels like you’re writing a novel on my skin.

                                         — Azra T., Braille

Connection...

Physical attractions are common, but a mental, intellectual, and spiritual connection is rare.

What you seek...

What you seek, is seeking you.
Rumi

Searching...

Maybe you are searching among the branches for what appears only in the roots.
Rumi

Heaven and hell...

No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell...
- CG Jung

We are...

We are not what we show to the world.
We are what we are afraid to show even to ourselves.
-Shilpa Goel

Hug...

Sometimes we hug our children as we are the ones who need the hug much more than them!

Horizon...

No matter how far a person can go, the horizon is still way beyond you.

-Zora Neale Hurston

Dear universe...

Dear Universe,
Please enlighten what is dark in me,
Strengthen,what is weak in me,

Mend,what is broken in me.

Bind, what is bruised in me. 

Heal, what is sick in me and lastly revive whatever peace and love, I have lost along the way.

- Unknown

The show must go on...

Empty spaces, what are we living for?
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for?
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore?

The show must go on
The show must go on
Yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

Infinite horizon...

        A sad soul needs an infinite horizon which can throw all his sorrow into the silence of the eternal emptiness!

Mehmet Murat ildan

I'll feel you burn...

        Extinguish my eyes, I'll go on seeing you.
Seal my ears, I'll go on hearing you.
And without feet I can make my way to you,
without a mouth I can swear your name.

Break off my arms, I'll take hold of you
with my heart as with a hand.
Stop my heart, and my brain will start to beat.
And if you consume my brain with fire,
I'll feel you burn in every drop of my blood.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Pyar Kiya to Darna kya...

प्यार किया तो डरना क्या
जब प्यार किया तो डरना क्या
प्यार किया कोई चोरी नहीं की
प्यार किया...
प्यार किया कोई चोरी नहीं किया
छुप छुप आहें भरना क्या

Why did you ever stop??

Before I met him, I would dance in the shower.
When he was in my life, I would think about showering with him.
After he left, I would sit on the ground in the shower and cry.
When I got over him, I showered so quickly there was no time for dancing, fantasies or tears.

Someone can invade the smallest parts of your life,
you won’t even realize it until you dance in the shower again
and wonder why you ever stopped. 

-Theglasschild

What if...??

What if you could amplify this singular moment, whip it into a frenetic fury, and then unleash it into your body and brain in a riot of gluttonous indulgence that could actually send you on amazing journeys outside the confines of your body?

Roberto Hogue

He fell...

She tripped on her saree... He fell...

Glitter...

        Even though on the outside we glittered like gold, inside we were almost as black as coal. Sometimes the glitter people saw was only the shattered pieces reflecting among the broken glass.

Tracy Krimmer, All That Glitters

Smiles and tears...

If I can see pain in your eyes then share with me your tears. If I can see joy in your eyes then share with me your smile. 
--Santosh Kalwar

An artist's job...

The artist's job is not to succumb to despair but to find an antidote for the emptiness of existence.      

Woody Allen

Destroy you...

     

Every moment those cold fingers of you touches my skin in these rainy nights, they lit fire to my soul a bit at a time. These moments make me crave to be destroyed, even more. In the end, when my whole soul is engulfed in the fire that you have started, I want to pull you into my arms and destroy you too, in every breathtaking way that exists.

Akshay Vasu, The Abandoned Paradise: Unraveling the beauty of untouched thoughts and dreams

I am your mother...

“To my beautiful daughter, always remember: you are brave, you are capable, you are pretty, and you can accomplish ANYTHING your heart desires! I know this because I am your mother.”

Always... Never...

To some people, you will never be enough.
To others, you always were.
- cwpoet

Accept that...

Accept that people leave, hearts break, friendships end, love vanishes, memories fade away and life goes on with empty feelings, sad smiles and broken souls.

A kiss...

A kiss can be a comma, a question mark or an exclamation point. That's basic spelling that every woman ought to know.      

Mistinguett

Open the door...

       

       Perhaps the only reason why you worry in life, tarry your goals and bury your joy is that you are still bearing the untold story of you untouched, which seems to bang on the doors of your heart every time! Go and open the way, and fulfill your destiny!

Israelmore Ayivor, Daily Drive 365

Karma...

       The law of karma states unequivocally that though we cannot see the connections, we can be sure that everything that happens to us, good and bad, originated once in something we did or thought. We ourselves are responsible for what happens to us, whether or not we can understand how. It follows that we can change what happens to us by changing ourselves; we can take our destiny into our own hands.

Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita

Ready...

Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.
 Sarah Ban Breathnach

Something sacred...

Consciousness expresses itself through creation. This world we live in is the dance of the creator. Dancers come and go in the twinkling of an eye but the dance lives on. On many an occasion when I am dancing, I have felt touched by something sacred. In those moments, I felt my spirit soar and become one with everything that exists.”
Michael Jackson

Never let go...

        Hope is a beautiful and magical thing. Grasp it tight, monsieur, and never let go.

Rachel L. Demeter,

Not my lips...

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.
Judy Garland

Somewheres...

     

        Then there are my Somewheres. We all need somewhere to say the private things, the vulnerable things, the scary and true things, the victories and the defeats. "I need to say it somewhere," we say. So then the temptation is to say everything, everywhere, or we end up saying nothing, nowhere. There's something between oversharing or undersharing our real lives. I have learned--slowly, painfully--to say these private things to my Somewheres.

Sarah Bessey, Out of Sorts: Making Peace with an Evolving Faith

Being naked...

 

It’s easy to take off your clothes and have sex. People do it all the time. But opening up your soul to someone, letting them into your spirit, thoughts, fears, future, hopes, dreams… that is being naked.

Rob Bell

You'll beg...

I'm not a cigarette that you'll smoke and crush.
I am a drug baby...You'll beg for me.
-Anonymous

If only...

If only our eyes saw souls instead of bodies, how different our ideals of beauty would be.”

Linked...

.       Dusk is just an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are there cannot be one without the other yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel I remember wondering to be always together yet forever apart?

Nicholas Sparks

Meeting point...

 

...and you will hold me with your wondering eyes in the serenity of purest mind at the dreams edge of my quiet golden shores accompanied by the melodies of emerald blue rippling waves where I will always remain voicing harmony in the over the rainbow soothing memories of your heart...

Oksana Rus

Fluid...

        I watch her as she leaves. Everything about her is fluid as a river. Her messy hair, her xylophone voice, the strokes of her paintbrush. Even her camouflage army jacket hangs loose, flowing like ribbons.

Lisa Ann Sandell, A Map of the Known World

Slipping away...

Looking out at the ocean, it's easy to feel small - and to imagine all your troubles, suddenly insignificant, slipping away. Earth's seven oceans seem vast and impenetrable, but a closer look tells another story. 
Ted Danson

Red peppers...

We run crazy after things that are like the red peppers, — pretty outside, but hot as fire when we get to playing with them. Our lesson is right hard. But a punishment sin brings with it is remembered longer than a hundred warnings. God doesn’t push us towards hot peppers — He lets us alone, but we are mighty apt to run to Him after we’ve got a fair taste. 
~Marion Harland (Mary Virginia Terhune), Alone, 1857  [A little altered. –tg]

Painful tears...

“The most painful tears are not the ones that fall from your eyes and cover your face. They're the ones that fall from your heart and cover your soul.”
 ~UNKNOWN

They broke...

"They broke the wrong parts of me. They broke my wings and forgot I had claws." — Anonymous

Near and far...

He who lives in our mind is near though he may actually be far away; but he who is not in our heart is far though he may really be nearby. 
Chanakya

It's the way...

You can be covered and be very sexy. It's not what you show; it's what you have in mind, the way you cross your legs, the way you talk to people. 

Carine Roitfeld

Chogada Taara....

Chogada taara

I’m your lover

Chabila taara

Your beloved

Rangila taara

I’m the color of your life

Rangbheru juye teri vaat re.... Haan..

All the words you speak are full of shades of love

Relax...

Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer. 
William S. Burroughs

Secret...

In the bottom of my heart lies a secret which I have never told a soul in the world. There is an image of this person who is dearest to me and closer than anything else. 

Melanie Rock

Some dance to remember...

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
She calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget...

-Hotel California.

Make them feel...

 

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
