The suggestive taunts that made her feel clumsy and hyper-vigilant, the soft touches that could spring like a trap—they painted a very vivid picture of what it would be like to fuck him, yes.

― Nenia Campbell, Raise the Blood

Need is weak and meek and coughs and can’t make it by itself alone.”
― Giannina Braschi, Putinoika

“When people around you desire money
When they desire power
When they desire wealth on every level
And that would please them

If I could have you
Nothing else is needed

I don't fancy luxury
I just need you
All of you
To spend my life ”

“Ese amor, que explota de la nada como una supernova, no existe. Solo es un pensamiento idealizado, que solemos confundir con otra reacción química igual de arrolladora: la atracción. Ese algo que te hace mirar los labios de un desconocido y que los tuyos se entreabran por puro reflejo. Que tu piel se erice allí donde sus ojos se posan. Ese estremecimiento tan íntimo que te hace contraer los músculos y aguantar la respiración. Esa mirada que, de repente, te hace sentir. Cosas buenas. Agradables. A veces desconocidas. Ese aroma único y personal que provoca una liberación descontrolada de endorfinas que invaden tu sangre como una droga y crean una dependencia inmediata.
Y te descubres necesitando otra dosis.
En forma de sonrisa.
De mirada.
De un olor que se te pega en la lengua y que paladeas mucho tiempo después.
Y la atracción se transforma en deseo.
Del que duele y no se calma.”
― Maria Martinez, Cuando no queden más estrellas que contar

“Apenas hablamos de nada. Solo estuvimos. Envueltos en un silencio cómodo, sin la necesidad de llenarlo con palabras.
A veces lo pillaba estudiándome. O él me descubría a mí. Y nos quedábamos atrapados en ese instante, sin ir a más. Con el deseo de que sucediera. Con el miedo a que ocurriera.
Contenidos.
Y la pregunta no era por qué, sino hasta cuándo.”
― Maria Martinez, Cuando no queden más estrellas que contar

― Mwanandeke Kindembo

“All happiness and sorrow have their roots in desire, I thought. Loving something is not easy, not when you have a mind that mucks it up all the time with your expectations of it. When you love a person, the expectations get even higher, and we have even more chances to muck it up. That’s why love doesn’t last too long for most people. The challenge of love isn’t looking past somebody’s flaws, it’s overcoming yours, that’s the only way you can see who they really are and love them for it.”
― Trenton McKay Judson, Words Alone Are Certain Good

“When mystics proudly announce that they 'revel in the delights of desire (havas),' their apparently sybarite sentiment takes as its transcendental reference point the 'grand desire' of the adept to realize freedom from selfhood, as Rumi states:

   There lies in no man's head
      Such desire as lies in mine;
   The desire I sense is such that
      I'm bereft of all ken of self.”
― Hossein Elahi Ghomshei PhD, Beauty, Love, and Wisdom in Persian Poetry: From Attar to Rumi, Shabistari and Hafiz

“So fragile, desire can vanish at any moment. And then all you're left with is this dark empty thing, this doubt.”

“Inside, there is no calm at all.
He settles across from me with deliberate slowness, his legs spread, elbows braced on his knees.
Watching.
Those eyes burn like wet embers, as though he’s still deciding whether to kiss me—or ruin me.”
― Aella Blake, Darkash
