“There is a time for work. And a time for love.
That leaves no other time.” ~ Coco Chanel
For L
“I love you
You can never have too many
I heard once what is
is what is
and what should be
is a dirty lie
But if what was wasn’t
then the truth is what isn’t.
Yet it is what it is
uncatchable shadows
disappearing in the mist
A land once sunny
now a valley full of dreary
I shall wait in this cloudy piss
and should the sun return
I shall capture the shadows
and lock them safely
between my teeth
I love you
You can never have too many
I heard once what is
is what is
and what should be
is a dirty lie.”

“I murmur under moon and stars
In brambly wildernesses;
I linger by my shingly bars;
I loiter round my cresses;
And out again I curve and flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.”
– From “The Brook” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
“I almost wish we were butterflies and liv’d but three summer days
— three such days with you I could fill with more delight
than fifty common years could ever contain.” ― John Keats
“The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps – we must step up the stairs.”
