#poems

"a flower knows, when its butterfly will return, and if the moon walks out, the sky will understand;but now it hurts, to watch you leave so soon,when I don't know, if you will ever come back."

"I drift like a cloud,Across these venerable eastern lands,A journey of unfathomable distances,An endless scroll of experiences...Lady Zhejiang here we must part,For the next province awaits my embrace.Sad wanderer, once you conquer the East,Where do you go?"

"Maybe what this is. What we have, is something that will save us from ourselves."

"You’re not a bad person, you’re just a little bit different and I’m a sucker for that."

"It’s funny, for all it took was a broken heart and that alone was enough, enough for her to do everything she ever dreamed of."

"Through the darkest hours of the nightand through the dreamers realm I seek,Far beyond the starry skyand beyond galaxies I am free.Through the grimmest memoriesand past a seasons air I cannot breathe,Far beyond this mortal worldin an afterlife we shall meet."

"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."

"I think that I shall never seeA poem lovely as a tree.A tree whose hungry mouth is pressedAgainst the earth's sweet flowing breast;A tree that looks at God all dayAnd lifts her leafy arms to pray;A tree that may in summer wearA nest of robins in her hair;Upon whose bosom snow has lain;Who intimately lives with rain.Poems are made by fools like me,But only God can make a tree."

"Was not writing poetry a secret transaction, a voice answering a voice?"

"Humans will never be in charge of this world, as long as dust and weeds do as they please."

"...so i will greet youin a wayall loved thingsare meant to be greetedwith a tear in my heartand a poem in my eye."

"Death is the easy part, the hard part is living and knowing you could be so much more then you’re willing to be."

"Too lazy to be ambitious,I let the world take care of itself.Ten days' worth of rice in my bag;a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?Listening to the night rain on my roof,I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out."

"With the need for the self in the time of another / I left my seaport grim and dear / knowing good work could be made / in the state governed by both Hope and Despair."

"It was never about the world being too big, it was more like she was too much for the world to handle."

"The best kind of humans are the ones who stay."

"Maybe I hope too much. Maybe I dream too much or maybe I love too much to just give up on you."

"I had to learn to live without you and I couldn't make sense of it, because I left so much of me inside of you."

"The greatest adventure is to have no fear for the blaze that lies ahead."

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