Charles Bukowski
as the spirit wanes the form appears
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Each person is only given so many evenings and each wasted evening is a gross violation against the natural course of your only life.

What are they doing? What are they thinking? We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't.

hate contains truth. beauty is a facade.
Charles Bukowski
I only want sweet peace and kindliness when I awaken -- but there's always some finger pointing, telling me some terrible deed I committed during the night. It seems I make a lot of mistakes and it seems that I am not allowed any.
Charles Bukowski
My dear, Find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover. ~ Falsely yours
Charles Bukowski
