Writings from a "Paper Heart"
Perhaps She Thought We Heard Her
Name:quillqueen
Bio:I am a curoius creature of habit, who likes to read books. I've lived mostly in AZ all of my life and I really do not like math. One day,I will be an award winning writer and I'll reach the top of Maslow's pyramid.

I love most things rock and roll as well as John Mayer(his beautiful lyrics and excellent guitar playing, I mean). I am the owner of a small but evergrowing Snoopy collection and adore poetic expression. Right now my top goals include graduating from college, publishing that book of mine, and of course, writing a lot more.


Symptoms of Love
By Robert Graves (1895-1985)

Love is a universal migraine,
A bright stain on the vision
Blotting out reason.

Symptoms of true love
Are leanness, jealousy,
Laggard dawns;

Are omens and nightmares -
Listening for a knock,
Waiting for a sign;

For a touch of her fingers
In a darkened room,
For a searching look.

Take courage, lover!
Can you endure such grief
At any hand but hers?



Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.

What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.

- All 3 quotes from "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry ~


IF you were coming in the fall,
I ’d brush the summer by
With half a smile and half a spurn,
As housewives do a fly.

If I could see you in a year,
I ’d wind the months in balls,
And put them each in separate drawers,
Until their time befalls.

If only centuries delayed,
I ’d count them on my hand,
Subtracting till my fingers dropped
Into Van Diemen’s land.

If certain, when this life was out,
That yours and mine should be,
I ’d toss it yonder like a rind,
And taste eternity.

But now, all ignorant of the length
Of time’s uncertain wing,
It goads me, like the goblin bee,
That will not taste its sting.

By Emily Dickenson


When I heard the learn’d astronomer;
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me;
When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them;
When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

By Walt Whitman
