“So here's to the past, and to loves that depart, To the lessons they teach, and the growth they impart. For even in leaving, they leave us with gifts, In the remnants of sunlit love, the heart uplifts.” 🩵

I had to pause here for a moment to reflect on the reference to Pyramus and Thisbe. I love how the author takes such a tragic love story and imagines a different ending. One where they refuse to accept their fate and choose love instead. There’s something really beautiful about that.

“For I, Thisbe, with a heart aflame, Refused the end, the tragic fame. With courage whispered from the stars above, We chose to live, to flee, to love.”

“Pyramus, my heart, beyond the wall so thin, Our souls did touch, where love did begin.” 🗡️💔

Wow this is really deep and beautiful poetry. Elicits vivid imagery and intense emotion. Can’t wait to finish and read the second volume!
