Love came,
and became like blood in my body.
It rushed through my veins and
encircled my heart.Everywhere I looked,
I saw one thing.
Love’s name written
on my limbs,
on my left palm,
on my forehead,
on the back of my neck,
on my right big toe…Oh, my friend,
all that you see of me
is just a shell,
and the rest belongs to love.
Rumi
Asleep
next to a strangers body
I imagine
it’s yours
Just like my kisses
place
is the only thing
not real
in the closeness of your bodies.
The Waterfall
You send me to see the waterfall today
To wash my hands
And clean the sweat of my back
To invoke stillness on my mind
And clearness in my heart
To conquer my ego
So I could wear it as trophy round my neck
But the mind will not be forced
And the heart is not easily diverged
With caves of stubborn pockets of resistance
as guerrilla emotions fighting from hidden places
Sarah Kay is one of my favourite spoken word performers. Watch her perform this great piece about the every changing face of love, together with her artistic partner Phil Kaye.
