THERE WAS A TIME, I NEED NOT NAME.
There was a time, I need not name,
Since it will ne’er forgotten be,
When all our feelings were the same
As still my soul hath been to thee.
And from that hour when first thy tongue
Confess’d a love which equall’d mine,
Though many a grief my heart hath wrung,
Unknown and thus unfelt [...]

So we’ll go no more a-roving
So late into the night,
Though the heart still be as loving,
And the moon still be as bright.
For the sword outwears its sheath,
And the soul outwears the breast,
And the heart must pause to breathe,
And love itself have rest.
Though the night was made for loving,
And the day returns too soon,
Yet we’ll go [...]

For Alexito.
Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
Woods or steepy mountain yields.
And we will sit upon the rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap [...]

- Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
This comment runs deep. Some women are fine with being ordinary. Perhaps they are naive. Perhaps they don’t know any better. Is this [...]

- Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
There are those in my life that possess this very valuable [...]

“He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realise.”
- Oscar Wilde
So what does this say of courage, risk, confidence, and character? Sometimes I’m one, sometimes the other.

“If I discover within myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world”
- C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)
Sometimes I feel very much like this.

Hola Hermosura:
I had a dream; I will try to describe it as better as I can with my poor English.
There were just a few hours to the rising sun, morning. The sky was full of stars, fat, filled, swollen stars, full of night. The moon was out for a while and then was gone. Was [...]
