Poerty

“Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.”

— Plato

I thoroughly enjoy poetry, and occasionally, when I stumble upon some absolute gems, I save them but never find them again. Unfortunate.

This section aims to act as a lane with organized packages of rhymes.

“Even
After
All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,

“You owe me.”

Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.”

― Hafiz
