Perfect together...

She was his dawn of bliss

He was her dusk of wounds,

Each day they came up to

See and touch

They couldn't stay for long

But they looked perfect together. - Tanya Gambhir

Eyes spoke...

There was something in your eyes. Your eyes spoke to me a million things.

Avijeet Das

Lose your way...

Sometimes when you lose your way in the fog, you end up in a beautiful place! Don't be afraid of getting lost!

-Mehmet Murat Ildan

I won't cry...

I won't cry for you, my mascara is too expensive!
- Andriana Lima

Divine...

Man is like a river on his way towards the ocean, towards the divine.

The drop has a thirst, a longing. The drop knows nothing of the ocean, but the drop longs to become one with the ocean.

The drop cannot find fulfillment until it becomes one with the ocean, the divine.

Swami Dhyan Giten

Empty...

If you want to become full, let yourself be empty.
- Lau Tzu

Message...

The eyes are one of the most powerful tools a woman can have. With one look, she can relay the most intimate message. After the connection is made, words cease to exist.

Jennifer Salaiz

Glaring...

Only by glaring into the depths of ones own reflection can we find our true selves. It is here where the mirrored voices of our souls speak and can be heard.

Paul Morabito, Mirrored Voices: Emerging Poets Anthology

Friendship...

My favourite kind of friendship is one where there’s a mutual understanding of the fact that we both have our own lives so we won’t be able to talk or hang out all the time but when we do talk or hang out it’s like picking up right where we left off.

They are the meaning...

“That’s when I realized that certain moments go on forever. Even after they’re over they still go on, even after you’re dead and buried, those moments are lasting still, backward and forward, on into infinity. They are everything and everywhere all at once. They are the meaning.”

Lauren Oliver

Artists...

Artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide.

Donald Woods Winnicott

Freedom...

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power  to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

- Vicktor Emil Frankl

Detachment...

“Detachment is not that you should own nothing. But that nothing should own you.” 

-Ali ibn abi Talib

You're my person...

"I love that you are my person and I am yours, that whatever door we come to, we will open it together." 
— a.r. asher

Strongest women...

Sometimes the strongest women are the ones who love beyond all faults, cry behind closed doors and fights battles that nobody knows about. 
~ Anonymous

Amazing places...

There are two amazing places you can be. The nicest place to be is in someone’s thoughts. The safest place to be is in someone’s prayers.

Memory...

 “Just remember, you can't put your arms around a memory, so hug someone you love today.” 
- Unknown

Unseen...

How fathomless the mystery of the Unseen is! We cannot plumb its depths with our feeble senses - with eyes which cannot see the infinitely small or the infinitely great, nor anything too close or too distant, such as the beings who live on a star or the creatures which live in a drop of water... with ears that deceive us by converting vibrations of the air into tones that we can hear, for they are sprites which miraculously change movement into sound, a metamorphosis which gives birth to harmonies which turn the silent agitation of nature into song... with our sense of smell, which is poorer than any dog's... with our sense of taste, which is barely capable of detecting the age of a wine!

Ah! If we had other senses which would work other miracles for us, how many more things would we not discover around us!

Guy de Maupassant, Le Horla et autres contes fantastiques

Belonging together...

It was because they were two parts of a whole. He did not belong to her. And she did not belong to him. It was never about belonging to someone. It was about belonging together.

Renee Ahdieh, The Rose & the Dagger (The Wrath and the Dawn, #2)

Recognize...

Wasted tries, The many whys, Is it the soul of Compromise?
Lows and highs, Believing in lies, In life we have to improvise.
Frustration and cries, The last leg of sighs, You are the dreamer in disguise!
To the guilt say goodbyes, Open your eyes, Your soul - I do so recognize.

Julieanne O'Connor

Felt...

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.     

Helen Keller

Fragile...

“She was not fragile like a flower. She was fragile like a bomb.”  
 — Unknown

Yin and Yang...

We are not meant to be perfect. We are meant to be whole!
- Jane Fonda

A memoir...

A memoir forces me to stop and remember carefully. It is an exercise in truth. In a memoir, I look at myself, my life, and the people I love the most in the mirror of the blank screen. In a memoir, feelings are more important than facts, and to write honestly, I have to confront my demons.

Isabel Allende

Princess...

I am going to be the damsel in distress and the knight in shining armor. I will save myself.

There are days...

There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall.

Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, Oeuvres complètes en seize volumes

Chaos and Magic...

Wild woman are an unexplainable spark of life. They ooze freedom and seek awareness, they belong to nobody but themselves yet give a piece of who they are to everyone they meet.
If you have met one, hold on to her, she'll allow you into her chaos but she'll also show you her magic.

Nikki Rowe

Burn and ignite...

They say a good love is one that sits you down, gives you a drink of water, and pats you on top of the head. But I say a good love is one that casts you into the wind, sets you ablaze, makes you burn through the skies and ignite the night like a phoenix; the kind that cuts you loose like a wildfire and you can't stop running simply because you keep on burning everything that you touch! I say that's a good love; one that burns and flies, and you run with it!

C. JoyBell C.

Gone...

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.

George Eliot

Tangled...

I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.

Daniel Day-Lewis

Changed...

Oh my beloved, to know you is to love you. And in loving you, everything about me has changed.
Nothing is the same because I have seen the heart of love, and have been forever transformed by your grace.
Oh my friend! Just see! My heart has been stained by the colour of love!

Don't think...

“Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It’s self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can’t try to do things. You simply must do things.”
 — Ray Bradbury

Survival...

After all, what's more human than the fight for survival?

-Tokyo,
Money Heist

Ocean of soul...

   

The eyes are the ocean of soul,
Behind those eyes lies an untold story,
Which is silent and buried in the depths of the ocean of soul,
Holding a billion tear drops in its rim,
And those eyes that cry for love and for the sake of loved ones are sapphires,
And those tear drops of love are precious pearls.

Luffina Lourduraj

Confusion...

Today, I experimented sketching with my non-dominant hand - my left hand. I think it wasn't a bad attempt at all, however as easy it was for to me sketch, the most difficult part was to write using my left hand. Maybe with a little practice, during this lockdown period, I'll be better at it ☺️

My style...

I could kill you with kindness, but kicking your ass is more my style!

She is Bougainville.
Lush. Wild.
So full of colours.
Unassuming
And rarely appreciated.
Oh, she couldn't care less!
She grows everywhere, yet belongs nowhere.

Shattered selves...

"We do no escape into philosophy, psychology, and art --we go there to restore our shattered selves into whole ones."

Red...

Stronger than alcohol, vaster than poetry, Ferment the freckled red bitterness of love!

-ArthurRimbaud

Wildflowers...

If all flowers wanted to be roses, nature would lose her springtime beauty and the fields would no longer be decked out with little wildflowers.

-Therese of Lisieux

My Silence...

My silence means I am tired of fighting and now there is nothing left to fight for. My silence means I am tired of explaining my feelings to you but now I don’t have the energy to explain them anymore. My silence means I have adapted to the changes in my life and I don’t want to complain. My silence means I am on a self-healing process and I am trying to forget everything I ever wanted from you. My silence means I am just trying to move on gracefully with all my dignity.
~ Aarti Khurana

We do things...

We all do things that we said that we would never do.

As long as...

As long as there is someone in the sky to protect me,
there is no one on the earth who can break me!

Powerful...

There is no force more powerful than a woman determined to rise!

You are art...

    Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

Marilyn Monroe

'til death do us part...

 

    Don’t cry, Mary,” Eden croaked. “I didn’t mean to make you cry.”
My lip quivered as I softly replied, “You’re dying. How could I not cry?”
I didn’t hear Lucas walk up behind me, but he put his hand on my shoulder for comfort. I sniffed back tears as I looked at my aunt lying helplessly in the hospital bed. I took in a sharp breath as Eden’s glassy eyes searched mine.
“I love you,” Eden said weakly, coughing into her shaking hand.
“I love you, too,” I whispered. “But this isn’t goodbye. Don’t say goodbye,” I pleaded.

B.C. Doyle, 'Til Death Do Us Part (Fearless, #1)

When it's time...

    When it’s time for souls to meet, there’s nothing on earth that can prevent them from meeting, no matter where each may be located. When two hearts are meant for each other, no distance is too far, no time is too long, and no other love can break them apart.

Jaime Lichauco

I am a C-section mom!

I had an epidural. Then I had a c-section. Then my baby wouldn't nurse, so I fed her from the bottle. And now I'm sitting here wondering, what all the guilt was about, because my teen is as weird as yours!

The only thing left...

 

"She will blaze through you like a gypsy wildfire. Igniting your soul and dancing in its flames. And when she is gone, the smell of her smoke will be the only thing left to soothe you." 

— Nicole Lyons
