thegirlsoul:

a piece of thought
floating by
unwatched, uninhibited
it calmly survives
till i scream inside
my restless mind
ordering the thought
to come outside
dressed in the form
of a poetic verse… 

I call those pieces, “snippets”. I have no idea why.

book love

pavorst:

I bought a book from an old friend yesterday. 
As I was leaving, she told me to destroy it.
She told me to dog-ear it, to demolish it,
to underline and write notes and just love it.
“This is how a book knows that you love it”, 
she told me, handing over my change.
Today, I will love my book properly. 

I like to write in books, leaving tracks of my thoughts written in the margins and the white spaces at the beginning and end of chapters. I dog-ear too. I do. However, the exception to this rule is library books. Always. Those are treated with the utmost care, for they do not belong to me. They are just in my possession temporarily. ~ Janean
