You want help? Ask for help. You want love? Ask for love. If you want anything from the universe, anything from yourself, you must first ask.

You must have hope in a better future and have faith in this hope. But then you must forget your hope and focus on this moment now.

Why do you feel so powerless? Go spend an hour with ants. Each of those black specks you see is a life. One whole life that you can save, take, or affect in some way. You have the power to make so many lives better. It is within you. Don__ lose sight of that.

I am so tired. I have grown old from being serious. I have grown ill from being serious. I want to laugh at myself. I want to forget myself. I am so tired.

In the beginning was love, and love was with God, and love was God.

God begets love.

I see your painas clearly as I feel my own.I will share your burden so you feel it less.Do not hate this world.Do not hate these people.I will share my hopeso you feel it more.I want you to see our loveas clearly as I feel yours.

Autumn has come and reason has gone. Yesterday, I sold the sun for you and tonight the stars are running away from me. When you first spoke, you slowly annihilated my world. Your mouth was like the sea _ in your kisses I sank. Your hands were like the ocean _ in your caresses I sank. I ask for no salvation on this moonless night. I only ask for more Autumn.

You might just find God in a mirror one day.

I would rather lie facedown on the ground and use my body as a bridge, than stand proud and tall and use my body as a wall.

We cannot hunt for love. We can only surrender and become love__ prey.

I love you.I love you a thousand times.I love you an irrational number. And I will continue to love youlong after all this has died and been rebornand we are nothing more than a pair of reincarnated eyes.

You only feel powerless because your fear has given your power to the object of your fear. Once you realise this, you can claim it back.

Here's another poem,like all others before and after,dedicated to you.There isn't anything left to be saidbut I will spend my lifetrying to put you into words.You who is every goodness,every optimismand hope.Your love is a better fate for methan anything I could wish for.If you are a part of me, then you__e the best part.And if you're separate from me, then you are my destination.But I__e become a weary traveller,so please,let us never be apart.

They want us to be afraid. They want us to be afraid of leaving our homes. They want us to barricade our doors and hide our children. Their aim is to make us fear life itself! They want us to hate. They want us to hate 'the other'. They want us to practice aggression and perfect antagonism. Their aim is to divide us all! They want us to be inhuman. They want us to throw out our kindness. They want us to bury our love and burn our hope. Their aim is to take all our light! They think their bricked walls will separate us. They think their damned bombs will defeat us. They are so ignorant they don__ understand that my soul and your soul are old friends. They are so ignorant they don__ understand that when they cut you I bleed. They are so ignorant they don__ understand that we will never be afraid, we will never hate and we will never be silent for life is ours!

These poems are cupsthat I pour my love into.Here, Drink!

There is nothing I can do that won__ bring me back to you.

Love, they said, burns youand builds you.But with you, there__ no ash.Just light.
