For them to come


A candle is enough.
it fits better,
for Love to come,

A candle is enough.
having softer light.
and prompt,
in daydream
for Love to come,

It's dim light
will be more welcoming
when Shadows come.

The room tonight,
In daydream
And with the subtle light –
I will vision
For Shadows to come.

Konstantinos Kavafis

When you love

That's the way it is when you love. It makes you suffer, and I have suffered much in the years since. 
But it matters little that you suffer, so long as you feel alive with a sense of the close bond that connects all living things, so long as love does not die.


Hermann Hesse



Are you Happy?
