Fac tibi in medio animi tui locum ubi lateas ubi gaudeas ubi nullo interpellante requiescas.

- Petrarch

Make a spot in the middle of your mind where you can lie hidden, rejoice, and relax with no one interrupting you.

The law of Love is severe, even obscure, but we must serve it.

yknow it's already supremely hilarious to me that petrarch wrote a breakup letter to cicero (who had been dead for, yknow, 1400 years) because he discovered cicero's letters to atticus and realized that the great orator was actually a petty little asshole, but it's even funnier to me that petrarch then wrote cicero an apology letter where he was like "sorry i was so mean to you, i still love your books even if your personality kind of sucks"

[moonlightmused]

I promised you a house of roses red,

But green envy had built walls high with thorn.

A key to my loves residence I’d sworn,

But bleeding heart who pricked itself instead

Made messes out of our sacred bed.

we held too tight to expectations worn;

love held too tight becomes a love to mourn.

the burning passion’s fire can quickly spread

and friction sparks a burning last collapse

of the roof under regret’s heavy weights.

We loved too much too brightly and perhaps

the Heat of worry melted rose gold gates.

The Roses wilted, black like coal they lied,

The house abandoned, our love has died. l

Context: I wrote a love poem several years ago about promising my love a house of a thousand roses. Color was a major motif. After heartbreak and years apart, I wanted to experiment with sonnets and this poem came about.
