Get some poetry. Try Leaves of Grass, or Prufrock and other observations, or Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair.

I love all three, but the Neruda at the end is my fave, and probably the most digestible.

   For I have known them all already, known them all; 
   Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, 
   I have measured out my life with coffee spoons; 
   I know the voices dying with a dying fall 
   Beneath the music from a farther room. 
   So how should I presume? 
- T.S. Eliot

I've been wondering whether your username was from Prufrock or that Crash Test Dummies song.
