Charles Bukowski
Never trust a man in a jumpsuit
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
I was in love again. I was in trouble
Charles Bukowski
in the cupboard sits my bottle like a dwarf waiting to scratch out my prayers. I drink and cough like some idiot at a symphony, sunlight and maddened birds are everywhere, the phone rings gamboling its sound against the odds of the crooked sea I drink deeply and evenly now, I drink to paradise and death and the lie of love.
Charles Bukowski
I'll use the knives for spreading jam, and the gas to warm my greying love.
Charles Bukowski
I will remember the kisses, our lips raw with love, and how you gave me everything you had and how I offered you what was left of me.
Charles Bukowski
I remember awakening one morning and finding everything smeared with the color of forgotten love.
Charles Bukowski
All our days are marked with/ unexpected/ affronts--some/ disastrous, others/ less so/ but the process is/ wearing and/ continuous./ Attrition rules./ Most give/ way/ leaving/ empty spaces/ where people should/ be.
Charles Bukowski
It seems I make a lot of mistakes and it seems that I am not allowed any.
Charles Bukowski
There's a small balcony here, the door is open and I can see the lights of the cars on the Harbor Freeway south, they never stop, that roll of lights, on and on. All those people. 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.
Charles Bukowski
The hangover was brutal but he didn't mind. It told him he had been somewhere else, someplace good.
Charles Bukowski
Cautiously, I allowed myself to feel good at times. I found moments of peace in cheap rooms just staring at the knobs of some dresser or listening to the rain in the dark. The less I needed the better I felt.
Charles Bukowski
Careful poetry and careful people live only long enough to die safely.
Charles Bukowski
Where did all the women come from? The supply was endless. Each one of them was individual, different. Their pussies were different, their kisses were different, their breasts were different, but no man could drink them all, there were too many of them, crossing their legs, driving men mad. What a feast!
Charles Bukowski
