close your eyes. fall in love. stay there. —Rumi

  

 

Mahmoud Al-Kurd

.

Once we dreamt that we were strangers.

We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.


—Rabindranath Tagore

.

 

true lovers in each happening of their hearts
live longer than all which and every who;
despite what fear denies,what hope asserts,
what falsest both disprove by proving true

(all doubts,all certainties,as villains strive
and heroes through the mere mind’s poor pretend
—grim comics of duration:only love
immortally occurs beyond the mind)

such a forever is love’s any now
and her each here is such an everywhere,
even more true would truest lovers grow
if out of midnight dropped more suns than are

(yes;and if time should ask into his was
all shall,their eyes would never miss a yes)


–E. E. Cummings
