Poetry Quote by Mahmoud Darwish — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I love women whose hidden desires make horses put an end to their lives at the threshold”

“I see a bird carrying me and carrying you, with us as its wings, beyond the dream, to a journey that has no end and no beginning, no purpose and no goal. I do not speak to you, and you do not speak to me; we listen only to the music of silence. Silence is the friend's trust of friend, imagination's self-confidence between rain and rainbow.”

“Don’t say that poetry, my friend, is beautiful”

“The poem is in my hands, and can run stories through her hands.”

“Be my lover between two wars waged in the mirror, she said.”

“Far away, our dreams have nothing to do with what we do. The wind carries the night, and passes on, aimless.”

“Language is fossil Poetry.”

“Teach me to sing and recite,”

“You love too hard,”

“What were you before you met me?”

“Green was the silence, wet was the light,”

“As she bends for a Kleenex in the dark, I am thinking of other girls: the girl I loved who fell in love with a lion--she lost her head over it--we just necked a lot; of the girl who fell in love with the tightrope, got addicted to getting high wired and nothing else was enough; all the beautiful, damaged women who have come through my life and I wonder what would have happened if I'd met them sooner, what they were like before they were so badly wounded. All this time I thought I'd been kissing, but maybe I'm always doing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, kissing dead girls in hopes that the heart will start again. Where there's breath, I've heard, there's hope.”
