6 Spoken Word Quotes On Love

“Just so you know, my weird mind wanders, and my brave heart breaks. 
I’ve nailed some milestones, but I make mistakes. Because I’ve got more faults than a map of California earthquakes.

 Wake me if you like me, wake me if you want me.
 Wake me if you need another poem.
 Your once and future lover has made himself at home.”

“She told me that she shouldn’t have let me get so attached to her; that this whole thing was a mistake, but, how can it be a mistake that I don’t have to wash my hands after I touched her?

I see myself crushed by an endless succession of cars…
And she was the first beautiful thing I ever got stuck on.”

 As a matter of fact, how about three?
 One penny for you, one penny for me,
 and one penny for our minds engaged not so sexually. 
Getting intimately closer as we approach the
 climatic altitude of nude, mental, sensational… conversation. Because I’m trying to get to know everything about you, 
from the neck…up.”

-Gemineye, Penny for Your Thoughts

I traded integrity for security and called it love.”
