If I could devise a plan,
To capture your essence,
And bask in it daily,
Every hour,
On the hour,
Obsessively,
Obnoxiously,
Nearing abnormality,
I would.I’d bottle you up,
Make you my special perfume,
And yes, every waking moment,
I’d spritz you onto my brown skin,
You’d seep into my pours,
I’d forever inhale you,
The wind would blow,
As you travel through my,
Nasal cavity.I’d let you,
My sweet scent,
Marinate,
Obsessively,
Obnoxiously,
Abnormally.
مآ أجمّل أنْ تصمتْ
فيْ ؤجهْ منْ ينتظرْ منِك الخِصَاموما أجمل أنْ تضحك
فيْ وجهْ منْ يُنتظرْ منك البكـاءْHow beautiful is it to stay silent
When someone expects you to be enraged from them.
And how beautiful it is to laugh
When someone thinks you are going to shed tears.
You were busy
tending
to her
scars
while
my wounds
were left open…
when i like somebody i
feel like i am the
butt of some joke, like
all the men i’ve ever
hurt are crowded around a
table, watching the whole thing
happen, shaking my lover’s hand
and patting him on the
back.
“Scattered thoughts, dark secrets lead me to a blacker heart.”
India Arie - Beautiful
This song always makes me cry .
no matter where i am, or who i am with,
i start crying
today i like
my middle name a little more than i did yesterday,
it breathes more freely now, it has
lungs and the
capacity to expand.
maybe i will discover myself unlimited too, maybe today is
the day for overcoming
gravity.
maybe i am drunk on possibility,
and maybe i love you.
My heart is drowning
my mind in thoughts of you,
Too bad I can’t swim
Or for the life of me
I would save myself
from this insanity sea of merely seeing you …

Your silhouette is a constant reminder that
only what remains of you is shadow,
A mere ghost of your existence
since you walked away.
Please stop haunting me
& yet I don’t want it to go away
“What’s Genocide?” by Carlos Andres Gomez
their high school principal
told me I couldn’t teach
poetry with profanity
so I asked my students,
“Raise your hand if you’ve heard of the Holocaust.”
in unison, their arms rose up like poisonous gas
then straightened out…
Talk about bling! This ring takes the term bling to a whole new level. Would you wear this ring everyday? You would need to have an armored guard with you everywhere you go.
Would wearing a ring valued at $68 million cause you stress or bliss? The ring was made by…
