“… my temples where the moon snakes, tongues of the dark speak …”

— Margaret Atwood, from Circe/Mud Poems; Selected Poems: 1965-1975

What is that feeling

When you tame a wild bird,

When she sleeps

Her wild feathers against your human skin?

 - We have only one word for love -

 And then one day

You set her free.

What is that thing

That makes her return

In your dreams?

 - We have only one word for love -

 - One Kindred Spirit

Obscenity only comes in when the mind despises and fears the body, and the body hates and resists the mind.

“And I can feel as we touch, as we embrace, your skin which offers me the return to the first sunless heartbeat before the world began, total, formless, chaos.”

— Pedro Salinas, from “The Voice I Owe to You”, translated from the Spanish by Ruth Katz Crispin

...a crushing kiss, as if trying with the delirious hunger of starvation to devour, to absorb each other and bring about a total and reciprocal disappearance and absorption.

Marguerite Duras, from "The Sea Wall," originally published in 1950

“Clearly you sound to me in the night-time; Solemnly, like a rich wind moving, You move in my heart’s enchanted forests, You sigh and are restless.”

— Conrad Aiken, from “Variations XIV” (via finita–la–commedia)
