Blue Swede - “Hooked on a Feeling”
Lips as sweet as candy
Its taste is on my mind
Girl, you got me thirsty
For another cup o’ wine

‘Is Your Love Strong Enough?’ By How To Destroy Angels from the 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ Soundtrack. It is a cover of the song by Bryan Ferry. I think it is so beautiful. :)
Raven hair and ruby lips,
Sparks fly from her fingertips
Echoed voices in the night,
She’s a restless spirit on an endless flight
And yet
Dauntless the slug-horn to my lips I set,
And blew “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came.”
Robert Browning, from “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came” (via the-final-sentence)
Sonnet 130 - Shakespeare
Read by: Alan Rickman
My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head;
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks;
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet by heaven I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Girl, you’ll be a woman… soon
I love you so much, can’t count all the ways
I’ve died for you girl and all they can say is
“He’s not your kind”

Beautiful Carved Motifs and design
on the tower (Vimana) of a beautiful Hoysala era temple in Mandya
district of Karnataka. Truly a mesmerizing play of lines
The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth.
