Beautiful thoughts drift in and out, never lingering long enough. I choose to see the best of possibilities, because otherwise, what's the point? I read somewhere that it takes three years for a person to learn how to use their tongue, but, it takes a lifetime to learn when and how to use it. Ironic, isn't it?

Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.

Catching my breath
I hear you sigh
Eyes touching mine
To this day
The vision in my thoughts
Gives me reason to pause
Whispering your name
Aloud

As uncomplicated as a cool breeze on a summer day, taking pleasure in the company of another, stealing a few moments to read your thoughts, or catching the perfume of a heavenly scent

As always, there must be a flower. To color my day. #alwaysaflower
And just like that, this show is over. Come back tomorrow and we'll do it again!

Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Because of you, I come back to post again and again

they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,

"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
