for a moment only...

My heart was too big for my body so I let it go and most days this world has thinned me to where I am just another cloud forgetting another flock of swans but believe me when I tell you my soul has squeezed into narrow spaces.

—Anis Mojgani, from “Come Closer” (via thisisartinterpretation)

My struggle is harsh and I come back
with eyes tired
at times from having seen
the unchanging earth,
but when your laughter enters
it rises to the sky seeking me
and it opens for me all
the doors of life.

—Pablo Neruda (via man-of-prose)

Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
I’d forsake them all for your sweet kiss
For that’s all I’m wishin’ to be ownin’

—Bob Dylan - Boots of Spanish Leather (via jcernelli)

“The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”

I wish I had done everything on Earth with you.

I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.

—Pablo Neruda (via man-of-prose)

We didn’t know then that the debris of joy
is like the debris of any wreckage:
you have to clear it away to start over again.

—Yehuda Amichai, from “Hamadiya”, translated by Chana Bloch (via growing-orbits)
