yet another list of "beautiful" words

to try to include in your next poem/story

Book-bosomed - coined by Sir Walter Scott; means "carrying a book at all times." If you love books, certainly you've been book-bosomed at times in your life.

Caliginous - misty, dark

Dithyramb - a usually short poem in an inspired wild irregular strain. This word comes from the Greek word dithyrambos which was the name for a wild and irregular poem honoring Dionysus, the god of wine, who was often lauded throughout the year during festivals at which poems of this style were read.

Embonpoint - plumpness of person; stoutness

Farinaceous - having a mealy texture or surface

Farouche - marked by shyness and lack of social graces

Florilegium - a volume of writings; an anthology. The word was borrowed into English from a New Latin word that comes from Latin florilegus meaning "culling flowers." Think of a florilegium as a bouquet of writings, specially selected and arranged for your enjoyment.

Goety - black magic or witchcraft in which the assistance of evil spirits is invoked

Lachrymist - one given to weeping

Lamia - a female demon; vampire

Osseous - bony

Phantasmagoria - a bizarre or fantastic combination, collection, or assemblage

Stygian - extremely dark, gloomy, or forbidding

Parfois, y'a des gens qui te manquent. Et malheureusement, le sentiment n'est pas réciproque. Et c'est la vie.

Tu ne peux pas forcer quelqu'un à te regretter, à s'inquiéter de ton absence et à souhaiter plus que tout de t'avoir dans ses bras.

Il y a des moments où ça ne vient que d'un côté. Et on fait avec.

I loved you

I loved you. I loved you so hard i found new ways to express it. I loved you so hard, without even trying. I loved you when you received good news. I loved you when you were a hurricane, rushing in my direction.

I loved you with a passion i never felt before. And I still do. I still love you.

But as I watch you caring for someone else, I realize : Maybe I should've waited before loving you so hard.

I didn't want her to go because I loved her. I still do. She walked away from me. But like I said, I loved her. And sometimes, love is about letting go...
