I want people to bow as they see me and say he is gifted with poetry, he has seen the presence of the creator.
Allen Ginsberg
Concentrate on what you want to say to yourself and your friends. Follow your inner moonlight don't hide the madness. You say what you want to say when you don't care who's listening.
Allen Ginsberg
I'm an old man now, and a lonesome man in Kansas / but not afraid / to speak my lonesomeness in a car, / because not only my lonesomeness / it's Ours, all over America, / O tender fellows --/ & spoken lonesomeness is Prophecy / in the moon 100 years ago or in / the middle of Kansas now.
Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg
in my dreams you walk dripping from a sea journey on the highway across America in tears to the door of my cottage in the Western night
Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg
To gain your own voice, forget about having it heard. Become a saint of your own province and your own consciousness.
Allen Ginsberg
We love to be hurt and we love to have our unhealing wounds opened and reopened again: we sit staring in the mirror of art, fascinated by our own deformities.
Allen Ginsberg
Candor disarms paranoia.
Allen Ginsberg
If you want to make order, put your own heart in order, and, having put one's heart in order, one can regulate the family order.
Allen Ginsberg
America I used to be a communist when I was a kid and I'm not sorry.
Allen Ginsberg
Taxi September along Jessore Road Oxcart skeletons drag charcoal load past watery fields thru rain flood ruts Dung cakes on treetrunks, plastic-roof huts Wet processions Families walk Stunted boys big heads don't talk Look bony skulls & silent round eyes Starving black angels in human disguise.
Allen Ginsberg
I am neither romantic nor a visionary, and that is my weakness and perhaps my power at any rate it is one difference. In less romantic and visionary terms, I am a Jew, (with powers of introspection and eclecticism attendant, perhaps.) But I am alien to your natural grace, to the spirit which you would know as a participator in America.
Allen Ginsberg
The desire to have power dissolves. The desire to dominate people for love dissolves. On the other hand, it's a relief to realize you can let go.
