meditations
the vagaries of love, and her incarnations thereof, are myriad; as bold as death, terrible as beauty, and dark as despair. love hides in the tilt of a head, the hollow of a shoulder, the flicker of smiling eyes and jealous fists; she speaks through the sullen spaces between words, and silences across telephone lines. her fingers are the misplaced, fleeting scents of ex-lovers. she is the breath shared before a kiss, and the sudden shudder of closing eyes. she is intangible, incomprehensible; she lives somewhere between the incoherence of poets and the clear gloaming of a morning shared between sleepless lovers.

to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
