Tendrils of drowsy pleasure entice and hypnotise,
As daybreak storms; a rapturous collision,
Of distorted cadences and scintillating harmonies,
Between discarded blue-sky sheets.

‘I love to feel the temperature drop and the wind increase just before a thunderstorm. Then I climb in bed with the thunder.’

time heals no wounds
it just gets you used to the pain
such that the pain doesn't hurt anymore

glitter washed down the drain
off like my friends
I forget their names
they know I live in vain
counting my veins
waiting to rip one open

money hungry
I foolishly believed
she'd always love me
never more
counting off what I owe her

he doesn't ask for me
robotic or stoic
he doesn't ask me why I'm crying
driving off
I was feeling manic
he doesn't understand it

you don't know me
wandering
maybe you have the key
if I let you in
will you find me

My shadow
it wants to be me,
it's jealous,
can't walk and can't sleep.

It thinks
that I'm living a dream -
it would do anything
to be me!

Be careful
what you wish for
- I keep telling him.

And he is surprised,
he doesn't understand.

One day
we will swap fates anyway.

Jermon
While I run on bare-footed
With the open sky of stars above me
And the heart of a warrior rising
The roar of a woman who defies the shadow of a man
Allah knows.
Allah knows and I trust
That the man who will complement my dreams
Who will let my fire rage higher
And my dreams' thrashing loneliness
Diminish along the breeze like it was never there.
Who will let my fractured identity bleed into his
As if hearth and fire were
Ice on mountains
Who will bind me to the earth
While my soul ravages its void-filled cries
And long for the heavens above to
Release me of the prisons of this temporary being
Allah knows
That man will come
And will do nothing but bring me
Closer to Him.

We wake the earth with our souls that will not be contained.
Idk man just watched a movie where a woman in a saree kills an advancing murderer with a knife in one hand (self-defense), and shields a baby with the other. Now THAT is a warrior.
