Wear your heart on your skin in this life.

– Sylvia Plath –

I love too much,

too wholly,

too simply for any cleverness.

– Sylvia Plath –

Ph : Tess Swan

… never found anybody who could stand to accept the daily demonstrative love I feel in me, and give back as good as I give.

-Sylvia Plath –

I am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me.

– Sylvia Plath –

I wanted to cry; I felt very odd.

I had fallen into a new way of being happy.

Ph : Jeremy Gibbs

She has folded them back into her body

as petals of a rose close

when the garden stiffens and odours bleed

from the sweet,

deep throats of the night flower.

The moon has nothing to be sad about,

staring from her hood of bone.

– Sylvia Plath – Ariel

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead

I lift my lids and all is born again

the stars go waltzing out in blue and red

I think I made you up inside my head

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed

and sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead

I think I made you up inside my head

I fancied you’d return the way you said

but I grow old and I forget your name

I should have loved a thunderbird instead

at least when spring comes they roar back again

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead

I think I made you up inside my head

Carol Anne McGowan – Mad Girl’s Love Song

Ph : Arkadiy Kurta

Perhaps some day I’ll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow.
