“Not everything in the heart can be said, so god created sighs, tears, long sleep, cold smile and shivering hands.”
― Nizar Qabbani

“She threw a lasso over summer
and rested in the grasses,
realizing betrayal wouldn’t hurt as much,
if she didn’t care.”
― Carolyn Riker, My Dear, Love Hasn't Forgotten You

“End of summer
comes falling like a waterfall of midnight stars
and I'm crawling out of this
nymphal skeleton
leaving you
like cicada do”
― Alisha Christensen, The Lovers

“The two years
You were my lover
Are the two most important pages
In the book of modern love.
All the pages before and after
Were blank.
These pages
Are the lines of the equator
Passing between your lips and mine
They are the measures of time
That are used
To set the clocks of the world.”
― Nizar Qabbani, Arabian Love Poems: Full Arabic and English Texts
