Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest;
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

William Shakespeare

how do i compare thee
—

how do i compare to thee
let me count the ways

thou art more reliable than
the us of a bill

thou makes me laugh
when all i want to do is scream

thou reminds me
there is more to dreams
then wetness through the morning breeze

how do i compare thee
let me count the ways

when stranded and in pain
through the crackling static

& distant sounds
you beckoned me

& made me smile

reminded me
im butterfly
black
& free

how do i compare thee
let me count the ways

none comes close
none comes sweet

none is no other
than he who he is

Love is bitter, love is sweet,
Love is her and him brought together to make the other whole…
Love is him and her pulled apart to realise something is missing,
Love is that beautiful sunset that you never forget
That summer night that never ends that first kiss that you always remember…
Love is that feeling that overrides all other emotions because it’s beautiful and always full of life no matter what..love always brings out the best in all of us…!
So give a little love and you’ll get more than you bargained for in return.
- here’s a little love for you—
