Poetry Quotes

I never thought there could be anything worse than being all alone in the night. But there is: being all alone in a crowd.

There all the honour lies - Sheridan and Delenn  

Oh lovely snowball, packed with care,
Smack a head that's unaware!
Then with freezing ice to spare,
Melt and soak through underwear!
Fly straight and true, hit hard and square!
This, oh snowball, is my prayer.

Calvin and hobbes  

Should I smile because we're friends, or cry because that's all we'll ever be?

 

picture yourself in a boat on a river with tangerine trees and marmalade skies. somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly a girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

The Beatles, Lucy in the sky with diamonds  

It doesn't take a talent to be mean, your words can crush things that are unseen. So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive and I'd like to stay that way.

Jewel, "Sensitive"  

And remember the truth that once was spoken: to love another person is to see the face of God.

Les Miserables  

A million things run through my mind, you ain't gotta be in jail to be doing time.

2pac, "Krazy"  

You know it's funny when it rains it pours, they got money for wars, but can't feed the poor.

Cause I think we can make it, in fact, I'm sure, and if you fall, stand tall and comeback for more.

2pac, "Keep Ya Head Up"  

"And Tomorrow"

Today is filled with anger,

fueled with hidden hate.

Scared of being outkast,

afraid of common fate.

Today is built on tragedies

which no one wants to face.

Nightmares to humanity

and morally disgraced.

Tonight is filled with Rage,

violence in the air.

Children bred with ruthlessness

cause no one at home cares.

Tonight I lay my head down

but the pressure never stops,

knowing that my sanity

content when I`m droped.

But tomorrow I see change,

a chance to build a new,

built on spirit intent

of heart and ideas based on truth.

Tomorrow I wake with second wind

and strong because of pride.

I know I fought with all my heart

to keep the dream alive.

Tupac Shakur  

"In The Event of My Demise"

In the event of my Demise

when my heart can beat no more

I Hope I Die For A Principle

or A Belief that I had Lived 4

I will die Before My Time

Because I feel the shadow`s Depth

so much I wanted 2 accomplish

before I reached my Death

I have come 2 grips with the possibility

and wiped the last tear from My eyes

I Loved All who were Positive

In the event of my Demise

Tupac Shakur  

It's been too many nights of being with to now be suddenly without.

Jewel Kilcher  

We will only be at peace when the power of love conquers the love of power.

Jimmi Hendrix  

Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost.
Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost.
What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time?
What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind.

Barenaked Ladies, Falling for the First Time  

"Life"

Sitting.
Staring.
Thinking.
Pondering.
Hoping.
Dreaming.
Wishing.
Trying.
Realizing.
Crashing.
Running.
Crying.
Concealing.
Faking.
Smiling.
Repeating.

 

The sun will kiss the afternoon sky,
and the moon will kiss the stars so high.
The morning dew will kiss the grass,
but you, my friend, can kiss my ass.

 

Be A Queen!

Be a queen. Dare to be different.
Be a pioneer. Be a leader.
Be the kind of woman who in the face of adversity
will continue to embrace life and walk fearlessly
toward the challenge.
Take it on! Be a truth seeker and rule your domain,
whatever it is--your home, your office, your family
with a loving heart.

Be a queen. Be tender.
Continue to give birth to new ideas
and rejoice in your womanhood. . .
My prayer is that we will stop wasting time
being mundane and mediocre. . .
We are daughters of God--here to teach
the world how to love. . .
It doesn't matter what you've been through,
where you come from, who your parents are
--nor your social or economic status.

None of that matters.
What matters is how you choose to love,
how you choose to express that love through your work,
through your family,
through what you have to give to the world. . .

Be a queen. Own your power and your glory!

English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

Have you noticed that we talk about certain things only when they are absent? Have you ever seen a horsefull carriage or a strapfull gown? Met a sung hero or experienced requited love? Have you ever run into someone who was combobulated, gruntled, ruly or peccable? And where are all those people who ARE spring chickens or who would actually hurt a fly?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

 

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask, "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
"We'll do it tomorrow"
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi?"

You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere,
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift...
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower.
Hear the music,
Before the song is over.

The Song Will Stop  

I may be in the gutter, but I'm looking at the stars.

Oscar Wilde  

Every night and every morn
some to misery are born
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to endless night

William Blake
