So I completely lost sanity last night in Lecce. Being one of the most important cities of Italian Baroque, it's obviously not a mistake I'm here with my darling sister! #london #lecce #puglia #italia #travelgram #baroque #architecture #catholic #cathedral #piazza #duomo #vac #summer #holiday #mooddusoir #thedream #splendour (at Lecce, Italy)

Do you remember the things I once said to You? Do You remember what I wrote you in all those letters? Forget those three words. Forget the tears. Forget all I said, but you probably already have. Because after all this time, This endless time, This broken, aching heart had enough. I'll forget the feeling. I'll forget those words I'll forget You. For there is nothing that can be gained from those bitter memories. This young love between old souls, crushed into a thousand pieces. This young love, lost amongst countless stars. #london #mooddusoir #poems #poetry #instapoet #mylifeinwriting #words #goya #art #hailmary #fullofgrace #catholic #courage #dearheart #loveisallyouneed #stars #poetsofinstagram

Once upon a time, I was so fond of Him. So head over heels in Love. But once Love is ignored, and the company of Teenagers is preferred. Then is when it all crumbles to pieces. Once upon a time I was so fond of Him. But even I with My Saintly Patience, have grown tired, so very tired. Of waiting and sadly of Him. He is Lonely that's for sure. With only False Friends to turn to. Seeking refuge at all the wrong places. But the moment You let go, of the heartache and the sadness. That's when it happens. I might call it Divine Intervention. No fear, no doubt, just Love. Do you think He was waiting there all along? Forgotten are all those Follies. Not to be mentioned again. Just the Promise of new beginnings. Love in all its Heavenly Splendour! #london #mooddujour #monday #mood #mooddusoir #rocky #twins #whitetie #sartorial #1930s #artdeco #cabaret #rockytwins #poetry #poems #words#mylifeinwriting #littlestoriesofmylife #chic #traditionalism #courage #dear#heart #allyouneedislove #newchapter

There is stood this evening, in a room filled with Splendour. Where people roamed in search of empty Delights. In that room I searched for faces. Hoping that amongst them, You may hide. In this room I searched in Vain. For I suspect You've gone off hunting. Looking for distractions to fill those empty nights. Desperately looking, trying to keep up with them. Looking for things You've found in me all along. And yet My Dearest You keep on running. Lost in that fruitless garden. For what You'll find may blind You with its temporary sparkle. But with the truth of the morning sun, it will surely tarnish. Maybe then You’ll remember me? And those mornings in Our endless Lovers Embrace. #london #mooddusoir #friday #mood #poetry #poems#words#mylifeinwriting #littlestoriesofmylife #hunting #courage #dear #heart #opera #paris #palaisgarnier #garnier #architecture #interior #gilded #splendour #party #blacktie #traditionalism

Today is the day that I lost the last little bit of You. You probably didn’t even notice. For You are too busy, already so lost at sea. They won’t help You, You know. They only use You for their selfish pleasures. Nor will they make You forget. However many of them You enchant, they’ll let You go, even more hurt in the end. I saw a light in You. That You Yourself failed to see. Hidden inside where no one but I could see. Today is day I’ve let You go. Because after Forgiveness You still found a way to disappoint and to push Me away. I still see You before Me. With Your Cheeks in shades of peach and Your velvet touch. But My Dearest You're starting to fade. And I can not see You clear. Maybe you’ll fade like those You Run To. Fade to the place where You drown Your guilt an fears. And for now that is the place where I must leave You. For I do not deserve this, nor was I Ever lost at sea. Maybe someday You’ll come and find me. But for now the sun has set on You. And in this hour most dark I can only say, My Dearest I Love You and May Angels Guard Thee. #london #mooddusoir #mood #friday #mayangelsguardthee #angelsguardthee #poetry #poems #words #quotes #writing #mylifeinwriting #blitz #darkness #1930s #blackandwhite #photography #architecture #traditionalism
