Poetry Quote by Saeed Jones — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Wee, sleekit, cowrin, tim'rous beastie,”

“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.”

“From a Berkeley Notebook'”

“And so I pray I am today as honest”

“Sometimes to self-discover you must self-destruct.”

“I act as the tongue of you,”
