¨You're crazy, and I'm crazy. Let's be crazy together!¨


This might be a little lame but I'm, not a huge fan of quoting people, just a little something I quickly came up with ^-^

"We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving"-Fredrick Nietzsche.
"He placed his hands
on my mind
before reaching
for my waist
my hips
or my lips
he didn't call me beautiful first
he called me
exquisite.[/b

The song La Vie En Rose 💕💕

'Hold me close and hold me fast, this magic spell you cast, this is la vie en rose.

When you kiss me heaven sighs, and though I close my eyes, I see la vie en rose.'

Thank you doing this it's quite nice of you.

"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death."

Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
I love this poem more than I can explain. It was the favourite poem of my late father-in-law and one that my husband wrote in a book he has slowly been filling for me that we call "the vow book".

Enjoy the sap.

The Rain Song


It is the springtime of my loving
The second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I've felt before
It isn't hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low, oh

It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me, keepers of the gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune
Ain't so hard to recognize, oh
These things are clear to all from time to time, ooh

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Oh
Talk talk, talk, talk

Hey, I felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us, 'pon us
But I know that I love you so
Oh, but I know
That I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion
And like the wind, they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch
We all must hold

This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient
Upon us all, upon us all a little rain must fall
Just a little rain, oh
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah

Thanks for doing this. I'd say, for songs... one of these:
(First one contains explicit language)

So many good ones already.

I'll share my favourite, or at least the one I tend to think of instantly. Now, despite it being a religious connotation, I really think the 'madness' and 'passion' of the essence of love are unmistakable. I'm not too shy to share that on a few occasions whilst very inebriated have I recited this one in particular. XD

"Batter my heart, three-person'd God, for you
As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend;
That I may rise and stand, o'erthrow me, and bend
Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.
I, like an usurp'd town to another due,
Labor to admit you, but oh, to no end;
Reason, your viceroy in me, me should defend,
But is captiv'd, and proves weak or untrue.
Yet dearly I love you, and would be lov'd fain,
But am betroth'd unto your enemy;
Divorce me, untie or break that knot again,
Take me to you, imprison me, for I,
Except you enthrall me, never shall be free,
Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.
"

-John Donne, Holy Sonnet X1V


Really wanted to add a beloved quote from one of my all time favourite novels. I actually used this in my vows to my husband:

"You are the harbour of my soul's journeying."

-Guy Gavriel Kay, Tigana
Amor Vincit Omnia

Edgar Bowers

Love is no more.
It died as the mind dies: the pure desire
Relinquishing the blissful form it wore,
The ample joy and clarity expire.

Regret is vain.
Then do not grieve for what you would efface,
The sudden failure of the past, the pain
Of its unwilling change, and the disgrace.

Leave innocence,
And modify your nature by the grief
Which poses to the will indifference
That no desire is permanent in sense.

Take leave of me.
What recompense, or pity, or deceit
Can cure, or what assumed serenity
Conceal the mortal loss which we repeat?

The mind will change, and change shall be relief.
