Poetry Quote by Melody Lee — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“My soul”

“Forbidden things— my God, I’m drawn to them like a moth to a flame.”

“My hair smells of oceanic wind”

“Unusual things, they quickly grab my attention. Messy hair and rainy days are my kinds of perfection, but I mostly love when you kiss me hard and take me beyond this realm to that holy place I only find with you.”

“You have dirty hands and dark wild eyes, but by far you are the purest heart I have ever known.”

“I am a wildflower in your perfect bed of roses.”

“Most of what I know”

“Only times and places, only names and ghosts.”

“Far over the misty mountains cold”

“To evade such temptations is the first duty of the poet. For as the ear is the antechamber to the soul, poetry can adulterate and destroy more surely then lust or gunpowder. The poet's, then, is the highest office of all. His words reach where others fall short. A silly song of Shakespeare's has done more for the poor and the wicked than all the preachers and philanthropists in the world.”

“One breath taken completely; one poem, fully written, fully read - in such a moment, anything can happen.”

“The foremost watchman on the peak announces his news. It is the truest word ever spoken, and the phrase will be th fittest, most musical, and the unerring voice of the world for that time.”
