Poem of the day: To George Sand: A Desire
To George Sand: A Desire
Thou large-brained woman and large-hearted man,
Self-called George Sand! whose soul, amid the lions
Of thy tumultuous senses, moans defiance
And answers roar for roar, as spirits can:
I would some mild miraculous thunder ran
Above the applauded circus, in appliance
Of thine own nobler nature's strength and science,
Drawing two pinions, white as wings of swan,
From thy strong shoulders, to amaze the place
With holier light! that thou to woman's claim
And man's, mightst join beside the angel's grace
Of a pure genius sanctified from blame
Till child and maiden pressed to thine embrace
To kiss upon thy lips a stainless fame.

My poems: naming things
naming things
why did you shut the lights?
I was watching the birth of your face
the music coming out of your lips
and now there is only a dance of shadows
who don’t belong
let’s not name our feelings for now
there is no need to scare them away
with words
we don’t need to think about what’s to come
or predict it
the moments will end up discovering themselves
let’s not open ajar boxes
let’s not keep them
intact
we can promise that we will never stay the same
and break that promise
because it is so easy to fall apart
but not as easy as turning the lights on again
there is so much more that we can see
when there is no pain involved
the process of acknowledgement of one another
is completed when we are quiet
and exposed
and everything that can be uncovered
deserves to be
and maybe we will find ourselves that way
when we least expect
and start living at once
because what else is there to learn
about intimacy
that doesn’t force us to be closer?
why should we wait?
