I love people and I can often be found quoting them in my facebook statuses…I’ve got quite a long list of quotes that I enjoy and that I feel both inspire and personify me. I have been looking over this list recently and have been writing poetry inspired by said quotes as a break from dictionary word “five minute poetry”…The quote I feel that personifies me above all others is this quote:
“I am two fools, I know. For loving, and for saying so in whining poetry” – John Donne 
She walked away, dagger in hand, holding her head up high
Laughing hysterically
High and hallucinating
Holding my severed head above her heart to reduce the swelling of things left unsaid
Heavy is her heart though she cannot feel it through the heroin euphoria that has reached her emotions
Stinging are her words though she cannot taste them through the cocaine numb on her tongue
Emotionless and motioning for innocent bystanders to frolic in her potent scent and sensuality
Rancid meat disguised as the sweet smell and taste of salubrious nourishment
I knew her better when she was pretending to be my perfection
Pursing her lips and crossing her fingers behind her back
I am a fool that fell for all the glitz and glamour
Ignoring the glitches and glowering glares lurking just beyond the landscape
So I stood unabashedly before her and extended my hand
As she held the knife-edge to my throat…
