Engels - Principles of Communism 1847 (via dailymarx)

I imagine myself to be an immense violet-colored dragonfly over the backwaters of emotion…

Federico García Lorca, in a 1922 Letter to Melchor Fernández Almagro (tr. by Christopher Maurer)

Here is the truth: It is hard to be in love with someone who is in love with someone else. I don’t know how to turn that into poetry.

Clementine von Radics (via lovelustquotes)

I hope it’s love. I’m trying really hard to make it love.

Richard Siken, from Self-Portrait Against Red Wallpaper (via adrasteiax)

suspended in a bubble of hiraeth

the tear frozen on my cheek

in the subzero sunlight,

my home is a person,

and they are too far from me

lost is a lovely place to find yourself

Today I taste wine

It's very repetitive when I say these words in my head. At least in my head nobody turns back and frowns or runs away from my reach.

I don't lose anything in my head .

I could scream these words out to the blankness that rests inside my head and I'll be perfectly fine. Nothing will die or cease to exist. Most things are alive in my head and only in my head. So when I tell my lips to smile as I hear you laugh, the vastness of the universe tries to stop and stare at you.

I smile and the passing clouds are so bashful that they tint red.

Oh and the rivers are chuckling to themselves.

I've told them about you and they think you could be sunshine or probably words in libraries that great people write.

I write about you like an aftertaste of wine and cake that I had that day. I write about you and the papers try to tell me to be sad because when people leave that's what you are supposed to be. Sad .
