Thought is deeper than all speech,
Feeling deeper than all thought;
Souls to souls can never teach
What unto themselves was taught.
„,
Heart to heart was never known;
Mind with mind did never meet;
We are columns, left alone,
Of a temple once complete.

I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day.
What hours, O what black hours we have spent
This night! what sights you, heart, saw; ways you went!
And more must, in yet longer light’s delay.

Go from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand
Henceforward in thy shadow. Nevermore
Alone upon the threshold of my door
Of individual life, I shall command
The uses of my soul, nor lift my hand
Serenely in the sunshine as before,
Without the sense of that which I forbore -
Thy touch upon the palm. The widest land

read and write
pinksubmergence:
read and write
read and write
like black and white
like day and night
how can you write
if you haven’t read
how can you fear
if you haven’t bled
read and write
read and write
like black and white
like day and night
how can you write
if you cannot listen
how can you shine
if you do not glisten?

In a world that’s breaking
where nothing is for keeps
this is us
this is love
this is where I sleep.

pinksubmergence:
our hearts estranged,
all plans delayed
fading in a bittersweet spectacle
of a missed opportunity
