Lang leav quotes lullabies
•
“There is a certain quality to words that—when strung in a certain way—has an almost hypnotic effect.”
Lullabies was my second poetry read by Lang Leav, and save for a handful of excerpts, I was a bit let down. From what inom recall of The Universe of Us, it was an enchanting collection with a number of gems thrown in for good measure.
But the poems in this one, especially the few that tried to komma of as witty or rhythmic, were puzzling and perplexing and just why…. Leav tries to tackle down poems “of hope and ecstasy, of tenderness and betrayal,” but in the end I was just left with little to no emotions. However, I did love the splendid illustrations featured in here:

I am saying it in a god way though. Since it’s love month, I decided to delve into another Lang Leav book. Lullabies is Lang Leav’s second poetry book, with Love and Misadventure being the first one.

Lullabies (Volume 2) Quotes
There are things I miss
that I shouldn't,
and those I don't

― Lang Leav, Lullabies (Volume 2)
I want you to be happy. inom want someone else to know the warmth of your smile, to feel the way inom did when I was in your presence.
I want you to know how happy you once made me and though you really did hurt me, in the end, I was better for it. I don't know if what we had was love, but if it wasn't, I hope to never fall in love. Because of you, I know I am too fragile to bear it.
I want you to remember my lips beneath your fingers and how you told me things you never told another soul. inom want you to know that I have kept sacred, everything you had entrusted in me and I always will.
Finally, inom want you to know how sorry I am for pushing you away when I had only meant to bring you closer.
