Subtle electric fires

One of my Whitman favorites:

O YOU whom I often and silently come where you are, that I may be with you;
As I walk by your side, or sit near, or remain in the same room with you,
Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake is playing within me.

– Walt Whitman


(than I do)

I never thought you
unlovable, but doubted
one could love you more.


true meaning #57

love is all about
what you give, not the feeling
you get in return.


even the voicemail

what her voice ignites
cannot be extinguished by
a thousand hydrants.
