Quotes from John Geddes

I knew I loved you when I kept trying to run away and find reasons why it wouldn't work

when I see you, I see mystery - a pale moon's beauty behind a veil of cloud

A heart never breaks in the same pattern of pieces

all day long, one storm then another—and I take your hands like gentle flowers that blossom into awareness

you are a ring tone on the phone I didn't answer

you cannot teach art—you cannot make a soul

You can be taught to write – you can't be taught to be an artist

the fragrance of pine resin is frankincense poured out—a balm of stars and snow and moonlit nights

put out the candles with your fire—I'm on fire

I am a bed of sparks you breathe upon and kindle

I will not exorcise you—I'd miss your fragrance, the soft tread of your step on the stair

you are the mysterious fire at my finger tips

burnt by the sunof your mouth, I'm unable to speak or paint you with words

I think there are lovely sunsets in hell—and that's where my desire for you is sending me

yes, writing is mostly a dream, but angels visit in dreams
