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

“The truth is I didn’t need therapy; I just needed to feel loved and know that someone out there craved my attention.”

“I know how you feel because I’ve been there too. I’ve hated and I’ve loved. I’ve seen my demons root and crawl and my angels branch and soar. I've died within myself and lived a thousand different lives. I too fight the same war and I too am drowning in the puddles of self-consciousness this world created.”

“At the end of the day I went to this place where your memories left footsteps on my skin and the breath of your touch stained my desire. Yea, it was one of those nights where I needed you the most.”

“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.”

“But dear, don’t be afraid of love it’s only magic.”

“We’re only instruments of love, flowing through heaps of pain hoping one day we’d hatch a passion of our own.”

“Does writing poetry make you brave? It is a good question to ask. I think making anything is a brave thing to do. Not like fighting brave, obviously. But a kind that looks at a horrible situation and doesn’t crumble.”

“I can't think of a case where poems changed the world, but what they do is they change people's understanding of what's going on in the world.”

“Poetry [is] more necessary than ever as a fire to light our tongues.”

“Appreciate the moment of a first kiss; it may be the last time you own your heart.”

“Come away, O human child!”
