Poetry Quote by robert m drake — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Somewhere along the way we all go a bit mad. So burn, let go and dive into the horror, because maybe it’s the chaos which helps us find where we belong.”

“With all honesty, somewhere between the hello and the dreams I saw you in I fell in love.”

“To love is to soar in the wild unexpectedly.”

“I know how you feel because I’ve been there too. I’ve hated and I’ve loved. I’ve seen my demons root and crawl and my angels branch and soar. I've died within myself and lived a thousand different lives. I too fight the same war and I too am drowning in the puddles of self-consciousness this world created.”

“We’re only instruments of love, flowing through heaps of pain hoping one day we’d hatch a passion of our own.”

“Maybe what this is. What we have, is something that will save us from ourselves.”

“The most sublime labour of poetry is to give sense and passion to insensate things; and it is characteristic of children to take inanimate things in their hands and talk to them in play as if they were living persons...

“Twas brillig, and the slithy toves”

“So I find words I never thought to speak”

“I went out to the hazel wood”

“Poetry [is] more necessary than ever as a fire to light our tongues.”
