    Most of my exposure to poetry comes through music. I'd give anything to be able to write though. Whether it be writing poetry or journalism or novels, I think writers are some of the most brilliant people ever. Period. Too bad I'm terrible hahaha

    Some stuff I like tho



    As we fall into sequence
    and we're eating our young
    remain silent and still for modesty
    When the splints have been broken
    and they can't help you now
    do you pray with your eyes closed naturally

    Follow me into nowhere
    Woven with the utmost care

    If I'm lost please don't find me
    if I jump let me sink
    we descended from no one
    with a wink

    When it's cold outside hold me
    don't hold me
    When I choose to rest my eyes coax me
    don't coax me
    When it's cold outside hold me
    don't hold me
    When I choose to rest my eyes coax me
    don't coax me

    Follow me into nowhere
    Woven with the utmost care

    Have they cleansed you with chloride
    and scrubbed behind the knees
    Has your body been hollowed by the breeze
    ― Crystal Castles (Celestica)

    Starvation is not beautiful.
    Killing yourself is not beautiful.
    Sadness
    is not beautiful.
    This note I am writing
    is not beautiful.

    But you
    you are beautiful
    and it’s about damn time you start believing it."

    I only have a favourite quote

    Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.

    “They amputated
    your thighs off my hips.
    As far as I’m concerned
    they are all surgeons. All of them.
    They dismantled us
    each from the other.
    As far as I’m concerned
    they are all engineers. All of them.

    A pity. We were such a good
    and loving invention.
    An airplane made from a man and wife.
    Wings and everything.
    We hovered a little above the earth.

    We even flew a little.”

    —Yehuda Amichai, 'A Pity. We Were Such A Good Invention'

    don't worry about rejections, pard,
    I've been rejected
    before.

    sometimes you make a mistake, taking
    the wrong poem
    more often I make the mistake, writing
    it.

    but I like a mount in every race
    even though the man
    who puts up the morning line

    tabs it 30 to one.

    I get to thinking about death more and
    more

    senility

    crutches

    armchairs

    writing purple poetry with a
    dripping pen

    when the young girls with mouths
    like barracudas
    bodies like lemon trees
    bodies like clouds
    bodies like flashes of lightning
    stop knocking on my door.

    don't worry about rejections, pard.

    I have smoked 25 cigarettes tonight
    and you know about the beer.

    the phone has only rung once:
    wrong number.

    i like that one.


    i like this one too.


    When you set out on your journey to Ithaca,
    pray that the road is long,
    full of adventure, full of knowledge.
    The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
    the angry Poseidon -- do not fear them:
    You will never find such as these on your path,
    if your thoughts remain lofty, if a fine
    emotion touches your spirit and your body.
    The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
    the fierce Poseidon you will never encounter,
    if you do not carry them within your soul,
    if your soul does not set them up before you.

    Pray that the road is long.
    That the summer mornings are many, when,
    with such pleasure, with such joy
    you will enter ports seen for the first time;
    stop at Phoenician markets,
    and purchase fine merchandise,
    mother-of-pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
    and sensual perfumes of all kinds,
    as many sensual perfumes as you can;
    visit many Egyptian cities,
    to learn and learn from scholars.

    Always keep Ithaca in your mind.
    To arrive there is your ultimate goal.
    But do not hurry the voyage at all.
    It is better to let it last for many years;
    and to anchor at the island when you are old,
    rich with all you have gained on the way,
    not expecting that Ithaca will offer you riches.

    Ithaca has given you the beautiful voyage.
    Without her you would have never set out on the road.
    She has nothing more to give you.

    And if you find her poor, Ithaca has not deceived you.
    Wise as you have become, with so much experience,
    you must already have understood what Ithacas mean.

    Ithaca, Constantine.

    Her skin was as dark as night
    Eyes big, brown and bright, couldn't forget a single sight
    With ink painted like a cat, she was representing felines everywhere
    Lips as red as the blood in her veins
    They always left itty bits of stains
    But did you remember her name?


    She couldn't tell the difference between fantasy and reality
    Indecisive and fickle, her mind was a blur
    Black was her wardrobe, invisible like a ghost
    Out of everyone, she hated herself the most
    Her routine was simple and always the same
    But did you remember her name?

    In a room of yammering idiots, she was the one in the back
    Either doodling or thinking, talking was one of her lacks
    Everyone thought she was insane and always a bit lame
    But did you remember her name?

    The sound of old music and the scent of flowers kept her sane
    Even when she didn't understand the words or even the name

    I could never find the original source for this quote but it's always there in my head and possibly my favourite quote of all time.

    "A man dies twice. The first point at which a Man dies is when he's brain-dead. The second point at which a Man dies is when his name has last been uttered. I don't want to die a second time."

    I paraphrased it but if anyone knows the source for such a saying I'd really be happy to know
