“When the end comes, dark and hungry I'll be alone, love When the end comes, black and starving I'll say good-bye, love.-from Golden Tongue: The Poems of Steven Slaughter”

“You needn't tell a bird it's a bird. Or remind a fish of its purpose. It's only us who lose our way. We have names because we must. - from Golden Tongue: The Poems of Steven Slaughter”

“I write love poems when I'm not rapping. It comes naturally." He winked at me."If you start rapping, I promise you I'll throw myself off this platform.”

“When I come to the end of my life ― when I come to the real end, at the right time, my mind may flash with random images... But I am not being hopeful about this when I say my last thoughts will be of love.”

“Sonnet of Fidelity Above all to my love I'll be attentiveFirst and always with care and so muchThat even when facing the greatest enchantmentBy love be more enchanted my thoughts. I want to live it through in each vain momentAnd in its honor I'll spread my songAnd laugh my laughter and cry my tearsWhen you are sad or when you are content. And thus when later comes looking for meWho knows the death anxiety of the living Who knows the loneliness end of all lovers I'll be able to say to myself of the love I had :Be not immortal since it is flameBut be infinite while it lasts.”

“I can only hope that when the world comes to an end I'll be able to breath in a sigh of relive, beacause there will be so much to look forward to”
