The circle of an empty day is brutal and at night it tightens around your neck like a noose.

I want to see you.
Know your voice.
Recognize you when you
first come ‘round the corner.
Sense your scent when I come
into a room you’ve just left…
I want to know the joy
of how you whisper
“more

Happiness is a choice. It is not always an easy one.
– Richard Bach –
it is madness in all women to let a secret love kindle within them, which, if unreturned and unknown, must devour the life that feeds it; and, if discovered and responded to, must lead, ignis-fatuus-like, into miry wilds whence there is no extrication.
– Charlotte Brontë –
Ph : Christopher Brown
I have little left in myself – I must have you. The world may laugh – may call me absurd, selfish – but it does not signify. My very soul demands you: it will be satisfied, or it will take deadly vengeance on its frame.
– Charlotte Brontë –
All my heart is yours …
it belongs to you;
and with you it would remain,
were fate to exile the rest of me
from your presence forever.
– Charlotte Brontë –
Ph : Pino Leone
The human heart has hidden treasures,
In secret kept, in silence sealed;
the thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures,
whosecharms were broken if revealed.
