— Petros Duryan, "What Are You, Love?"

hi hibi, this tumblr post reminds me immensely of tsor…

Oh my god :(( file under “poetry Carlos wrote for Lando” OR a particularly romantic troubadour song inspired by their love.

“My eyes aren’t blue.”

“That’s not the point, mi amor.”

[metamorphesque]

What are you, love? A flame from heaven? A radiant smile are you? The heaven has not your eyes’ bright gleams, The heaven has not their blue.

Petros Duryan, “What are you, love?”

who are some armenian poets that we should be reading? (other than you, of course 🌷)

well... calling me a poet is a hyperbole I do not deserve, but thank you for your kindness 🌼 sadly very little of Armenian literature has been translated into English... and with the ones that have been translated — very delicate yet important nuances have been lost in translation (isn't this always the case with translations?)

here I've made a list of my favourite Armenian poets (and I've tried to link their translated works as well) 🌼 thank you, thank you for your interest in our culture 🧡
