Poetry Quotes

“Passion isn’t everything, but everything is better with passion, especially if you have ADHD. I hope that you all find that passion about something or someone. Never stop looking for it. Once you find it, fight for it with every breath.”

“The distance between my lips and yours cannot be deciphered from the square root of the sum of the days we have spent wondering what to do with three minutes and ten seconds. The distance between my lips and yours cannot be deduced by the difference in the circumferences of our necks or in how many minutes we can sit in the noon sun. The distance between my lips and yours can only be measured in poems. Tell me, how many are there? Were there? Will there be? (But who knows what to call a poem and what to call a conversation? And who knows whether to call at all?)”

“স্বপ্ন পান্ডুলিপি কাছে রেখে ধূসর দীপের কাছে আমি নিস্তব্ধ ছিলাম ব'সে; শিশির পড়িতেছিলো ধীরে-ধীরে খ'সে; নিমের শাখার থেকে একাকীতম কে পাখি নামি উড়ে গেলো কুয়াশায়, — কুয়াশার থেকে দূর-কুয়াশায় আরো। তাহারি পাখার হাওয়া প্রদীপ নিভায়ে গেলো বুঝি? অন্ধকার হাৎড়ায়ে ধীরে-ধীরে দেশলাই খুঁজি; যখন জ্বালিব আলো কার মুখ দেখা যাবে বলিতে কি পারো? কার মুখ? —আমলকী শাখার পিছনে শিঙের মত বাঁকা নীল চাঁদ একদিন দেখেছিলো তাহা; এ-ধূসর পান্ডুলিপি একদিন দেখেছিলো, আহা, সে-মুখ ধূসরতম আজ এই পৃথিবীর মনে। তবু এই পৃথিবীর সব আলো একদিন নিভে গেলে পরে, পৃথিবীর সব গল্প একদিন ফুরাবে যখন, মানুষ র'বে না আর, র'বে শুধু মানুষের স্বপ্ন তখনঃ সেই মুখ আর আমি র'বো সেই স্বপ্নের ভিতরে।”

“In intimacy there exists a line That can't be crossed by passion or love's art -- In awful silence lips melt into one And out of love to pieces bursts the heart. And friendship here is impotent, and years Of happiness sublime in fire aglow, When soul is free and does not hear The dulling of sweet passion, long and slow. Those who are striving toward it are in fever, But those that reach it struck with woe that lingers. Now you have understood, why forever My heart does not beat underneath your fingers.”

“How spacious are these squares, How resonant bridges and stark! Heavy, peaceful, and starless Is the covering of the dark. And we walk on the fresh snow As if we were mortal people. That we are together this hour Unseparable -- is it not a miracle? The knees go unwittingly weaker It seems there's no air -- so long! You are my life's only blessing, You are the sun of my song. Now the dark buildings are stirring And I'll fall on earth as they shake -- Inside of my village garden I do not fear to awake. Escape "My dear, if we could only Reach all the way to the seas" "Be quiet" and descended the stairs Losing breath and looking for keys. Past the buildings, where sometime We danced and had fun and drank wine Past the white columns of Senate Where it's dark, dark again. "What are you doing, you madman!" "No, I am only in love with thee! This evening is wide and noisy, Ship will have lots of fun at the sea!" Horror tightly clutches the throat, Shuttle took us at dusk on our turn. The tough smell of ocean tightrope Inside trembling nostrils did burn. "Say, you most probably know: I don't sleep? Thus in sleep it can be" Only oars splashed in measured manner Over Nieva's waves heavy. And the black sky began to get lighter, Someone called from the bridge to us, As with both hands I was clutching On my chest the rim of the cross. On your arms, as I lost all my power, Like a little girl you carried me, That on deck of a yacht alabaster Incorruptible day's light we'd meet.”

“It's made of poetry and art and lost hearts enhanced in magic It's the kingdom of love, where free spirits find their resilience It's the dream catcher of lost passion and deep silence It's the torso where rebel souls find their homeland It's the beginning of a dream and the end of another It's what keeps you up in the night, when you're breathing dreams It's that madness of artists caught in the wind It's the night on a full moon drown between chimeras It's you making love to me, under the blessings of Seine..." (fragment from "Paris", chapter Hope)”

“I write you from a miss A train station and a farewell I write from a seashell The wave, the trace of its kiss I write you from a space A bud, under the light of spring I write you from a ruin This red flower, in my chest I write you to say a silence (The world is just an appearance) I write you from the shadow From oblivion, you remember? I write you from a misty window Your name, of breath and letters I write you from my soul This fire, and this scream I write you to talk about me This emptiness, embraced between your arms -and for all that is missing Another one will be saying.”
