If you were with me
We should need no light
But peonies.

How I shall sing and sing,
Though none may hear!
And your voice uttering yourself
Will be my voice
Forever.

Diary Written on Peony Petals

Amiga mio,
Tell the dark trees to expect me
If I utter human words of longing
They will not heed me.

I have shining thoughts
That resent darkness.
When foxgloves give up their radiance,
I think of you

Distance withholding you

slow as dogwood
buds unfurl
spring lightly arrives

@RepKatiePorter We adore you, Katie.

Keep on keeping on.

And starry river buds among the sedge,
And floating water-lilies, broad and bright,

And bulrushes, and reeds of such deep green
As soothed the dazzled eye with sober sheen.

#poem Shelley
#art Monet

I dreamed that, as I wandered by the way,
Bare Winter suddenly was changed to Spring,

And gentle odours led my steps astray,
Mixed with a sound of waters murmuring

Only a sense of supplication;
A sense o'er all my soul imprest
That I am weak, yet not unblest …

To be loved is all I need,
And whom I love, I love indeed.

#poem Coleridge, from ‘The Pains of Sleep’
#art Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Ere on my bed my limbs I lay,
It hath not been my use to pray
With moving lips or bended knees;
But silently, by slow degrees,
My spirit I to Love compose,
In humble trust mine eye-lids close,
With reverential resignation
No wish conceived, no thought exprest,

The Story of Us

Oh we are
skinchangers -

today
while I am pale

& delicate
you comfort me -

tomorrow
we shall exchange

#poem L.C. Goodwin
#art Raphaël Vavasseur

Prayer

From this one breath,
By as many heartbeats
As my clenched fingers,
Make one inch of song.
