Do not love me yet

Do not love me yet,
For I am still a slender moon,
A scimitar about the heart
Too sharp to touch too soon.

Before I’m touched I need to grow
More full in golden light.
I need to smile upon my earth
And rule some patch of night.

I need to know what roads and fields
Lie in my domain
And dull my brand new ecstasies
With sophomoric pain.

I need the love of some blank boy
As cold and dark as me,
That we might grope in ignorance
And fear of what might be.

And then when I’m a silver bowl
And know what I can hold,
Then, then, perhaps, we could try love
If you are not too old.

I Have No Life But This

I Have No Life But This
by Emily  Dickinson

I have no life but this, 
To lead it here;
Nor any death, but lest
Dispelled from there;
Nor tie to earths to come,
Nor action new,
Except through this extent,
The Realm of You!

right now..

Never take away anyone’s hope. 

That may be all they have.
