From The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare (1606).
“Do you remember a night when I came along the dark passage to your room in a thunderstorm and we lay talking about whether we were afraid of death or not? That is the sort of occasion on which the things I want to say to you,–and to you only,–get said.”
— Virginia Woolf, from a letter to Vita Sackville-West written c. June 1933
harmony
i write poems to the moon
you sing to the stars
and it matters so much
especially when we're miles apart
i hold the starry night around my neck
you see it in real life
our harmony must make
such a wonderful sight
i hold my cousins close
you smile at every child you see
so let's watch our children grow
under our garden's tree
i think coffee is a waste
you say it's too bitter
let's drink our cocoa, my angel
and make life sweeter
i write poetry to piano keys
you dream to flute's gentle blows
the whole orchestra to ourselves
so let's meet in contrabass lows
angel, apart and close
are we an eternal dichotomy?
but maybe in another life we are
in perfect harmony

Just look at me for once,just once , maybe you'll see yourself in these brown orbs and perhaps fall, just look at me once.

“Listen to me, girl, you have castles inside your bones, coronets in your heart, if he threatens you with battle, you raise him a whole war, the last time I checked, Queens cower before no man.”
