maybe I should hold with care, but my hands are busy in the air

"I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till i drop.
This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion."
~ Jack Kerouac

The love that we will
never make together is
the most beautiful, the
most violent, the most
pure, the most heady
~ Serge Gainsbourg

Further, and nearer
still, still it came
from dead fathers, nomadic races,
from lands made of stone,
that were tired of their wretched tribes,
because when pain set out on the way
the villages walked and arrived
and new earth and water joined again
to sow their words anew.

And so this is the legacy:
this is the air which connects us
to the dead man and the dawn
of new beings not yet woken.
~ Pablo Neruda

my muse you have filled my life
with delight
shivering with sweat and cold
tremors over the skin
stand up and look at me, face to face
friend to friend
unloose the beauty of your eyes
let your love shook my heart
like the wind on the mountain
troubling the oak-trees.
~ Sappho

Just remember, the same as a spectacular
Vogue magazine, remember that no matter
how close you follow the jumps: Continued on
page whatever. No matter how careful you are,
there's going to be the sense you missed
something, the collapsed feeling under your
skin that you didn't experience it all. There's
that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right
through the moments where you should've
been paying attention. Well, get used to that
feeling. That's how your whole life will feel
some day. This is all practice. None of this
matters. We're just warming up.
~ Chuck Palahniuk

and i admit that i ain't no angel
i admit that i ain't no saint
i'm selfish and i'm cruel but you're blind
if i exorcise my devils
well my angels may leave too
when they leave they're so hard to find
~ Tom Waits

Under my pen the verses dance no longer
and like a tear in the corner of an eye
the word hangs back.
And all my life, at its end,
is now only a fast journey on a train
~ Jaroslav Seifert

“Pray that your loneliness may spur you
into finding something to live for,
great enough to die for.”
~ Dag Hammarskjold

Knock me out
Smash out my brains
If I take a chair
Start to talk shit
~ Radiohead
