'Sea Garden' by H.D. is really interesting. From the early c.20th.

Trying to scroll on the People's Tab less. It's too Facebooky for me and bad for my brain. Tag me or PM if you need me!

I loved reading "September Love" by Lang Leav. She has had an interesting life and I love her perspective, especially her poems about God.
Who's to say that my light is better than your darkness? Who's to say death is better than your darkness? Who am I to say?

I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.

i recently reread my book of leonard cohen's poetry. a lot of juxtaposition of love and loss, the sacred and the profane, etc. it's pretty neat. i have always been a fan of his music, but his poetry feels more personal to me.
In a shadow there is the blessing of a shadow.

"A Coney Island of the Mind" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti !!! so good
No matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away.

I've been on a huge Neruda kick. I am currently rereading "100 Love Sonnets" and it is just as beautiful as the first time I did. Timeless!!

Neruda isn’t merely feeling love ~~ He becomes love, turning flesh into verse, into something more eternal. There is no passivity in this loving, no idle waiting for something to happen. There's a constant undoing and re-becoming. He was a controversial person, but his poetry is truly something amazing. ^_^
