darkness.”

“The Scholars
"Bald heads forgetful of their sins,
Old, learned, respectable bald heads
Edit and annotate the lines
That young men, tossing on their beds,
Rhymed out in love’s despair
To flatter beauty’s ignorant ear.

They’ll cough in the ink to the world’s end;
Wear out the carpet with their shoes
Earning respect; have no strange friend;
If they have sinned nobody knows.
Lord, what would they say
Should their Catullus walk that way?”
― W.B. Yeats, The Wild Swans at Coole

Melting in your silhouette

“Manhood Diaries (The Sonnet)

Onun için cennet ol, cehennem değil.
Vicdanlı bir adam ol, hayvan değil.
Sé una bendición para ella, no una maldición.
Onun yaralarına ilacı ol, tuz değil.

Be her paradise, not prison.
Be her man, not master.
Be a miracle to her maladies.
Be her crown, not custard.

There is no alpha male and beta male,
There is only man and baboon.
Decency defines a man's character,
Not the virility of his heirloom.

Partner on the streets,
Slave between the sheets,
That's what a real man is.
Undaunted in danger,
Uncompromising in calamity,
That's what a real human is.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

“The ghazals are convincing, and patience is a powerful weapon…but the heart of a timid man will never win his lady.”

“She is not territory, she is temple (Sonnet)

She is not a territory to conquer,
she is a temple that grants
entry only through trust,
even the gaze must be earned.

I'll never get down on one knee,
if I do, I'll get down on both knees -
absolute surrender, nothing left out.

I don't wanna be a tourist, a passing fling,
I am a pilgrim to your love, to your life,
and at times when you permit, to your body.

By default all women are my sisters,
I may make an exception if I lose my heart,
even then my conscience wouldn't allow filth,
till I've earned her unwavering trust.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“Absence, hear thou my protestation
Against thy strength,
Distance and length:
Do what thou canst for alteration;
For hearts of truest mettle
Absence doth join, and time doth settle.”

― Diaksha Maharaj, Hold Me While I Decompose

out of sight, out of mind.

out of love, out of life.”

for he knew
the ache of not loving her
would be the far greater pain.”

“We are given this hope –
we are give this promise.
A promise to a brand new night
of moonlight sonata.
The hope
to an enduring,
cheering and nurturing dawn
joined by brand new chapters
written under the care and witness
of thirteen thousand
five hundred and sixty-five
piles of ancient stars,
long trips, old books,
new dreams,
long kiss and fairy tales –
laid under the protective smiles
and strong arms
of thirteen miles
of these old and wise
olive trees.”
― Becky M.R.

“Oh, love.
Dearest and wildest of things!
You cannot force love.
Just like confidence or humility;
like spring and rain — 
it is, or it isn’t.
Love is like a wild songbird;
you cannot be proud to own her,
nor cage her in order to possess her,
and then ask her to keep silent.
You cannot own her
nor can you tame her;
she needs to be free,
you need to let go of it.
Open the gates of that cage
and let her go,
let her fly away.
She must be free to decide
if she wants to stay.
If she goes away,
she must be free to decide
if she wants to come back.

Love is the wildest of creatures;
she is not easy to find
nor is she easy to keep.
She is priceless,
yet she isn’t for free,
but if she isn’t free
she cannot be true — 
it cannot be love.”
― Becky M.R.

“I don't have a "tribe."
I don't belong to a "people."
I only need my person who comes from the same planet as me.”

“Opulent, velvety, fruity, you are as fine wine.

I want to languidly inhale your aroma, sip you slowly, let my tongue linger.

Tasting you as I delight in your sweetness.”
― Onur Taşkıran
