In the sea of voices,
My mind is loud,
As if people weren't enough already,
It starts to scream.
I keep my head bowed
But my eyes are wide awake.

I can't escape this surreal reality.

She gently placed her heart on the ground.
She prayed and wished it wouldn't grow down.
But the heart had known something else,
And turned around for a different chance.
It grew cold and white, very dark and little light.
The child had not expected this merciless might,
And so cried and leaped into the fright.
When she had placed her heart to choose,
She had thought it wouldn't turn blue.
But now she saw what wasn't meant,
And turned around for a different chance.
My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me. - Imam al-Shafi'i

Pour energy
into your
words

Write with intensity
so great
that if you held the page
from a mountain's peak
your words
would be mistaken
for
stars

I am afraid of a thing.
That thing I don’t even know what is.
Fire rises to ****, stealing life and rain
It purges the land of everything
‘Till there’s nothing left to stand.

I am afraid of something.
Of something I cannot name.
Storm and thunder are here
A swirling mass of destructive winds
Breaking people and mortal beings.

What am I afraid of, I can’t say.
What are you afraid of? I can’t answer.
The grounds get up to meet the bees
They get up to curse the sky
Why do you even bother, if you’re just going to lie?

I am afraid of a being I cannot name.
I am scared of something, of something I can’t stand.
The thunder and lightning crash
Forceful enough to blow away most things

We die protecting.

I am afraid of a storm.
The storm that, inside me, rages on.
I fight to keep it in, keep it hidden.
But I am losing, that I’m aware of.

And one day, the storm,
Will destroy everything I fought for.

Come a little closer.
    There is a halo in your mouth
     and I like the way it burns.
