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

“It’s funny, for all it took was a broken heart and that alone was enough, enough for her to do everything she ever dreamed of.”

“A tamed woman will never leave her mark in the world.”

“To be human is to be broken and broken is its own kind of beautiful.”

“Broken hearts, you can run, you can hide and perhaps the earth is big enough to believe you’re safe. So maybe for a moment you have escaped but hear me, hear me well. Love will find you and it will leave nothing behind.”

“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.”

“I arrived, I saw humans and I saw through their faces. Nothing ever changes but the light in their eyes. For I too have buried my demons today, without knowing what might remain beneath the face of tomorrow.”

Drown the whole thing in an abnormal, dreamy atmosphere, in the atmosphere of great days … the region of pure poetry.”

“A lot we have in our head,”
