Unending Love
By Rabindranath Tagore

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times

That is both gorgeous and slashy. Is it for your Persiaverse?

Not really, but some of Tagore's stuff would definitely be applicable. I'm thinking of attaching a poetry snippet before or after each chapter, and some of Tagore's poems are on the shortlist:).

I can see why. God, do I love pretty poetry.

Tagore is right up there with Rumi and Gibran for me as one of those poets who can capture transcendent love with imagery that takes both physical and spiritual love and goes beyond both. All three are the sort of poets I can only read a little bit at a time because their writing is so powerful I have to put the book down and take a deep breath after a few pages or so. Their material is so often so universal and involves all of nature in an almost pantheistic way that it's overwhelming at times. It's like every time you open a book of theirs, you tap into the forces of life and love and nature themselves. It's fantastic stuff.
