Poetry Quote by Billy Collins — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“You will always be the bread and the knife, not to mention the crystal goblet and—somehow—the wine.”

“But some nights, I must tell you,”

“I love to move like a mouse inside this puzzle for the body, balancing the wish to be lost with the need to be found.”

“all they want to do”

“But tomorrow, dawn will come the way I picture her,”

“It is time to float on the waters of the night.”

“Whenever you keep score in love, you lose.”

“I just need you and some sunsets.”

“After the leaves have fallen, we return”

“However, he wrote some verses on her, and very pretty they were.”

“In a world gushing blood day and night, you never stop mopping up pain.”

“I am not a finished poem, and I am not the song you’ve turned me into. I am a detached human being, making my way in a world that is constantly trying to push me aside, and you who send me letters and emails and beautiful gifts wouldn’t even recognise me if you saw me walking down the street where I live tomorrow”
