Poetry is intimate, in that sense, we are all cheaters. Every write, every read an affair.

When done right, poetry is an intimate conversation with the universe.

Sad truth is.. when you really know someone intimately, their thoughts, their deepest desires, who they are when no one is looking... Loving them is difficult. Our phones reflect our true identities. And that is why these days a relationship/marriage can end just by checking his/her phone

Who, if I objected, would hear me among the angelic orders?
For if the least One pressed me intimately against its breast,
I would be lost in its infinite Immensity!
Because beauty, which we mortals can barely endure, is the beginning of terror;
we stand awed when it benignly declines to annihilate us.
Every Angel is terrifying!
('Rilke’s First Elegy' by Rainer Maria Rilke, loose translation by Michael R. Burch)

Show me your most intimate items of apparel; begin with the hem of your quicksilver slip ...

Love is Joy and Joy has tears.
This is Life lived, knowing Love.
With this, intimate magic bonds all life in Joy.
So cry to water your Love and watch it grow.

Nature breathes gentle songs through the winds and wings, creating an intimacy with God which sparks the twinkle in both the stars and eyes

Intimacy of soul is like having someone who understands your mind, your heart and the real you.
No matter what you pretend!!

"Poetry is the love child of late night intimacy, between paper and pen."

"Even a homeless person can inform you of a safe place to rest and find nourishment... But homelessness and hunger lies in the future of they who will refuse wisdom because of another's intimate affairs"
