Love-Life-Poetry

“You often feel tired, not because you’ve done too much, but because you’ve done too little of what sparks a light in you.”

“People who comprehend a thing to its very depths rarely stay faithful to it forever. For they have brought its depths into the light of day: and in the depths there is always much that is unpleasant to see.”

Words bother me. I think it is why I am a poet. I keep trying to force myself to speak of the things that remain mute inside. My poems only come when I have almost lost the ability to utter a word. To speak, in a way, of the unspeakable. To make an object out of the chaos... To say what? A final cry into the void.

“Please stop destroying what is left of your heart by constantly thinking about things that have broken you.”
