and see your face in the stars.

A Breathless Desire
Original WritingYou make me feel a little like the way I feel when I see the sky alight with the fire of a sunset.
You take my breath away.
A Middle Eastern Sunrise
Original PoetryI felt you in the Eastern sunrise
just as I felt you in the Western sunset,
but you weren’t there.
I saw you in the overlapping mountain peaks
and in the layer of mist caressing the snow-capped tips,
but you still weren’t there.
I sensed you in the mid-winter breeze
as it lashed it’s claws onto my skin
but you weren’t there next to me.
How can one be everywhere
without being anywhere at all?

his breath on my skin
as he whispered my name,

blend into
violet.
The Sun, The Moon and The Stars

the sun, the moon and the stars
to create an angel.

QuotesDon’t do that. Don’t tell me I’m not trying. I swam through 12 oceans and drowned in every single one of them, but each time the water seeped into my lungs and the fish started swimming in my bloodstream, I spat it all up and continued swimming. I am not a life raft, I will not pop in the middle of the ocean. I am a fucking ship and I promise you I will make it to shore alive.
