A Love Poem

Hello everybody!

I hope everyone had a nice weekend! It was extremely hot where I live but I'm sure it was cooler elsewhere in the world, perhaps even enjoyable! Today, all I wanted to do was jump into my pool but unfortunately, the UPS man never brought my bathing suits! Although Target's package tracker assures me that they are in transit. Hopefully they will come tomorrow, I have a beach date soon! Perhaps the UPS man is in cahoots with my mail man and together, they are hoarding my letter and packages to drive me crazy. Who knows!

Here is the postcard I was talking about yesterday. It's from N. in New York! A bit closer to home than my other postcards! Hopefully there are some more in my mailbox today, I haven't gotten a chance to look yet! Or maybe a pen pal letter! Is this too much to ask?

Anyways, here is the text on the card:
I cry your mercy-pity-love! Aye, love! Merciful love that tantalizes not, one-thoughted, never-wandering, guideless love, unmasked, and being seen-without a blot! O! Let me have thee whole, all-all be mine! That shape, that fairness, that sweet minor zest of love, your kiss, those hands, those eyes divine, that warm, lucent, million-pleasured breast yourself-your soul-in pity give me all, withhold no atom's atom or I die, or living on perhaps, your wretched thrall, forget, in the mist of idle misery. -John Keats

Oh how I love a good poem, especially one about love. I am not going to interpret for you, I know you are all capable of that yourself. I will tell you however, that my favorite line is "Withhold no atom's atom or I die...". I think that is a gorgeous line. As for the postcard, this is definitely a favorite of mine! At first I was confused when I opened the mailbox, I thought someone had stuck a package of stickers in with my mail when I looked quickly. But after I did a double take, I realized how adorable and true the words are. I just think it is so adorable. Thanks so much N.!

That's it for tonight folks, I am tired. Hopefully I will have something new to post tomorrow! Until then, feel free to share your favorite love quotes. I am a huge sucker for quotes. I just love them, all of them!

Can't wait to hear from you!
