“Youngsters with candy floss in their wet mouth and jean jackets. In love and wild, you kiss his mouth of coca cola. You are falling in love and it is nothing like before. The ones before him are dead bodies burying under his manhood and madness. He dances with you in the middle of the traffic, and the streets lights are beautiful. He kisses you between the sheets in Spain, and gets on you in a souvenir shop. He loves you in an Italian lounge and his smile is soft hip hop. He brings your mojito and wet kisses. And he has tattoos of your poetry.”—Youngsters pt. 2 by Royla Asghar (via poems-of-madness)
“The challenge of modernity is to live without illusions and without becoming disillusioned. I’m a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will.”—Antonio Gramsci (via sheiladoreen)
