Poetry Quote by Rudy Francisco — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Most of what I know”

“Yes, I'm fine; yes, I'm always fine.”

“If I could I would nail these hands to the edges of stars. I would sacrifice this body to the sky hoping to resurrect as someone spiteful enough to not care about you.”

“you wouldn't let me”

“When you choose to be a poet,”

“I thought leaving you would be easy,”

“Those moments before a poem comes, when the heightened awareness comes over you, and you realize a poem is buried there somewhere, you prepare yourself. I run around, you know, kind of skipping around the house, marvelous elation. It’s as though I could fly.”

“You become a house where the wind blows straight through, because no one bothers the crack in the window or lock on the door, and you’re the house where people come and go as they please, because you’re simply too unimpressed to care. You let people in who you really shouldn’t let in, and you let them walk around for a while, use your bed and use your books, and await the day when they simply get bored and leave. You’re still not bothered, though you knew they shouldn’t have been let in in the first place, but still you just sit there, apathetic like a beggar in the desert.”

“Poems are difficult to silence.”

“I saw my face today”

“...and then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?”
