🍂Collection of Poetry, Letters or Other Written Works🍁
Posted 2024-03-03 21:53:21 #1168140 I thought it would be neat to share some of my favorite quotes, or letters or poetry and encourage other people to share their own favorite works as well! If you have a favorite spoken word poet or even song lyrics that really resonate with you please feel free to share as well! A friend of mine got me really into Frank Kafka and how he wrote 100 letters to his lover and there's a collection of them to her but he felt like he couldn't give her what she wanted as in enough love but only met that woman twice. He had an intense love with a woman before her where he wrote her 500 letters but didn't want to keep the relationship going because he thought he couldn't give her a serene life and this woman was also already married. Lastly, he met Dora and this was the woman he thought was right for him but alas in finding her he also only had about 11 months left to live and its such a tragic life. My heart beats through my entire body and is conscious only of you. Franz Kafka, 1912.	Sunflower🌻 #133501

But now not another word, only kisses, and many of them for a thousand reasons — because it's Sunday, because the festivities are over, because the weather is fine, or maybe because the weather is bad.

Franz Kafka, 1912.

Inconceivable that the chest can expand and contract sufficiently to breathe this air, inconceivable that one can be so far from you.

In any case, what business have my hands to write letters if all they are made for and all they want is to hold you !

You are— I am about to say something immensely stupid, or rather what I am going to say isn't stupid, but the fact that I say it is — well, you are the best, kindest, and sweetest creature.

Franz Kafka, 1914.

i need someone

who knows struggle

as well as i do

someone

willing to hold my feet in their lap

on days it is too difficult to stand

the type of person who gives

exactly what i need

before i ever know i need it

the type of lover who hears me

even when i do not speak

is the type of understanding

i demand

– the type of lover i need

(Milk and Honey, page 74)

you treat them like they

have a heart like yours

but not everyone can be as

soft and as tender

you don't see the

person they are

you see the person

they have the potential to be

you give and give till

they pull everything out of you

and leave you empty

(Milk and Honey, page 106)

i don't know what living a balanced life feels like

when i am sad

i don't cry i pour

when i am happy

i don't smile i glow

when i am angry

i don't yell i burn

the good thing about feeling in extremes is

when i love i give them wings

but perhaps that isn't

such a good thing cause

they always tend to leave

and you should see me

when my heart is broken

i don't grieve

i shatter

(Milk and Honey, page 109)

you were not wrong for leaving

you were wrong for coming back

and thinking

you could have me

when it was convenient

and leave when it was not
