Strange Words - A Book of Poetry Quotes

“There you are. Standing right here. I miss you. Standing here, talking strange words. I miss you. Strange words, telling me plans. I miss you. You speak of dreams and dream of things that go a million ways. There you are. But where is you? The you, I know you are. There you are. Standing right here. Talking strange words. I miss you. Strange words, telling me plans. You speak of dreams and dream of things that go a million ways. There you are. But where is you? The you, I know you are. The other you, the different one. The one that makes two ONE.”

“One day the world stopped because of the thing. We knew it was there and knew it was dangerous because, you know, it left bodies in the dirt. We all stayed in – couldn’t touch, shouldn’t meet, mustn’t dance. God forbid we kiss. Eventually, the thing got tired. Besides, it knew it wasn’t welcome, even though, the grass grew better, and the birds worried less, and the air breathed deeper as the humans breathed less. We all stayed in – couldn’t touch, shouldn’t meet, mustn’t dance. God forbid we kiss. I hope we remember what we once did; blocking airways, blocking enemies, blocking friends. Let things mend. One day, the world stopped. Another day, it started again and acted like it had never stopped. It does things like that. I do hope we remember that life is not long and love is not free, unless it is.”
