“What happens when you lose your heart’s desire?”

“Forbidden to remember, terrified to forget; it was a hard line to walk.”

“Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second-hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me.” 

“You’re not asleep, and you’re not dead. I’m here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn’t want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy.”

“The waves of pain that had only lapped at me before now reared high up and washed over my head, pulling me under. I did not resurface.”

“Do you think I’ll ever get better at this? That my heart might someday stop trying to jump out of my chest whenever you touch me?”

“Love is irrational, I reminded myself. The more you loved someone, the less sense anything made.” 

“They call her my singer—because her blood sings for me.” 

“I wondered how long it could last. Maybe someday, years from now.If the pain would decrease to the point where I could bear it.I would be able to look back on those few short months that would always be the best of my life.”

“Your hold on me is permanent and unbreakable. Never doubt that”

“Like everything in life, I just had to decide what to do with what I was given.”

“When you can’t be with the one you love, will you stay with the one who loves you?” 

“The smile broke across his face the way the sunrise set the clouds on fire…” 

“Like we were connected, the echo of his pain twisted inside me. his pain, my pain.” 

“I’d rather die than be with anyone but you.”

Quotes from Twilight book series Part 1

Twilight is a book series which gained a lot of positive and negative reviews as well in its journey to the international acclaim. But every book offers a bunch of thoughtful lines irrespective of its positiveness or negativeness. Because every line ever penned down is from the real-life experience of the respective author.

So here I’m compiling some of the memorable quotes from the Twilight saga through a series of 4 blog posts, each one for every book in the series.

1. Twilight

“And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…” he murmured. I looked away, hiding my eyes as I thrilled to the word.
“What a stupid lamb,” I sighed.
“What a sick, masochistic lion.”

 

“Twilight, again. Another ending. No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end.”

 

“When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.” 

 

“Death is Peaceful, Life is Harder” 

 

“I like the night. Without the dark, we’d never see the stars.”

 

“The right thing isn’t always real obvious. Sometimes the right thing for one person is the wrong thing for someone else. So…good luck figuring that out.”

 

“I know love and lust don’t always keep the same company.”

 

“You’re intoxicated by my very presence.”

 

“That’s the beautiful thing about being human: Things change.” 

 

“I decided as long as I’m going to hell, I might as well do it thoroughly.”

 

“Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved.”

 

“Just because we’ve been . . . dealt a certain hand . . . it doesn’t mean that we can’t choose to rise above—to conquer the boundaries of a destiny that none of us wanted.”

“April is lush” by Aditya Tiwari

You tell them

that you are fine,

but these are

just your

little lilac lies

-April is lush (Adithya Tiwari)

April is lush is a collection of poems written by Aditya Tiwari. The first impression of this book is its cover and title. There is nothing graphic about the cover. But somehow I liked it a lot. The tinge of red merged with black yellow, green and grey colors is the expression of the author’s poetry. This somehow gives us a hint of a rainbow without opening the book. The seasons of human life, from a pupa to a beautiful butterfly or the different emotions one has throughout their life. The definition of the rainbow is limitless. The title is also apt for a poetry collection which describes very fragile emotions of human life.

I’m truly proud that I read this book in the pride month. LGBTQIA+ community has been sidelined in literature too as well as in other fields. Their voice s important as much as ours. That’s how we can merge them to us. Being a queer writer, Aditya’s pen bleeds the emotions of utmost difficult phase in human life. The emotions are raw and thus makes it most desirable. The power he attained from broken and healing throughout the phases of his metamorphosis has been strengthened his literary senses too. This has been evident from the small poems he wrote.

The poetry collection also includes poems on love, loss, heartbreak, trauma, woman and self-worth other than LGBTQIA+ thoughts. The flow of poems is what I admired most about this book. The phase of love and loss is always a favorite subject for poets. Its because it is the truest of all emotions one has. But the specialty of Adithya’s poems is he tried explored the phase of grief much more than others. The poems on trauma and loss have tons of difference. The small differences in our thoughts and emotions during the phase of loss is essayed beautifully in these small poems. This makes the poetry long-lasting in the thoughts of readers even after turning the last page.

The language used in poems is simple making even a beginner understand what it is meant. This is a must-read for every poetry enthusiasts.
