Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I have discovered 
that what we call heartbreak 
is simply the result of trying to walk those paths 
that are not meant for me.

But I have wandering feet,
a curious soul,
and a heart that loves to love,
and so maybe I am destined for more heartbreak
than most.

​The Floating Poem, Unnumbered
 
Whatever happens with us, your body
will haunt mine—tender, delicate
your lovemaking, like the half-curled frond
of the fiddlehead fern in forests
just washed by sun. Your traveled, generous thighs
between which my whole face has come and come--
the innocence and wisdom of the place my tongue has found there--
the live, insatiate dance of your nipples in my mouth--
your touch on me, firm, protective, searching
me out, your strong tongue and slender fingers
reaching where I had been waiting years for you
in my rose-wet cave—whatever happens, this is.

• — Adrienne Rich

​What you and I might be
in some other world, a world
where I could reach you
right before you disappear
forever, this blue day.

•  - Charles Coté

​—the two of us in our bed
of Egyptian cotton.
The sea reflected us, our human emotions. 
Then the sea refused us, like the sea.

If you wear a short enough skirt, the party will come to you.

It's how I want to live my whole life: sweet, spicy, tart and good on everything.

​Looks like what drives me crazy
Don’t have no effect on you--
But I’m gonna keep on at it
Till it drives you crazy, too
— Langston Hughes
