Poetry Quote by Sanober Khan — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“my love”

“my dear, I have nothing to say.”

“be the kiss in my hair”

“What you are trying to let go of”

“May your love for me be”

“Do not turn me”

“My brain hums with scraps of poetry and madness.”

“It's better to swim in the sea below”

“Read for yourselves, read for the sake of your inspiration, for the sweet turmoil in your lovely head. But also read against yourselves, read for questioning and impotence, for despair and erudition, read the dry sardonic remarks of cynical philosophers like Cioran or even Carl Schmitt, read newspapers, read those who despise, dismiss or simply ignore poetry and try to understand why they do it. Read your enemies, read those who reinforce your sense of what's evolving in poetry, and also read those whose darkness or malice or madness or greatness you can't understand because only in this way will you grow, outlive yourself, and become what you are.”

“Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly”

“I. Those of us born by water are never afraid enough of drowning. Bruises used to trophy my knees from my death-defying tree climb jumps. Growing up, my backyard was a forest of blackberry bushes. I learned early nothing sweet will come to you unthorned.”
