A woman is reduced to the ***** of her curves

to the dimensions of her ****** features

but whoever dares calculate those

should be assigned a paper big enough,

a mind smart enough,

to help them figure out the boundless extent

of the vastness of the paradise that lies under her feet.
-in islam, mothers are said to have heaven lying under the soles of their feet -

How can I reply
when my tongue has blisters
from the words left stuck and unsaid?
I can't hurt you
because I know what pain feels like.

I would rather hold your hand
than see you leave.
Ten Word Poem #1

Let the orange crack of dawn
smile at the day
and welcome new hours of your life.
Let the radiating sun,
heat up the skies,
warming your insides with new hopes.
Let happiness filter through you,
and seep into the crevices of your broken heart.
Despite the promised darkness of the night,
dawn will come back singing its song
and you will be awaiting it
having already memorised its tune.
New day - New hopes.

Because there are no sides and
It doesn't matter what you believe
Or who you are
There is no left or right
We are all feel the same
Maybe a little broken
Or flawed or angry
It is a respite and relief from pain
It is spoken from the soul and to the soul
And it is the only time
That I can be fully human
I love the neutral ground of poetry where we all come to lament or rejoice or vent.  There are no differences or borders when someone leaves or dies that you love and you express that.

Maybe if bitterness was not my language,
You would've held on to our conversations.
Maybe if bitterness wasn't in my eyes,
You wouldn't have turned to look at her instead.

I like music and catchy tunes
but the song that is your voice
is my favourite one yet.
