2.23.12
A long time ago….
I was watching a show, on natgeo, that showed the dissection of an elephant carcass (one who had died of natural causes). I found it to be extraordinarily fascinating because there was just a certain….unity…about the body. I was breathless at the explanation of the ears, that are used to cool the body in high temperatures, by circulating all of the body’s...

In Islam, 5 pillars are the central practices for Muslims (similar to the 10 commandments in Christianity)
The 5 pillars are:
1. Shahada: recite the Islamic Creed (Similar to the “Lords Prayer” in Christianity)

3. Saum: Fasting...

It was deep until we hit the bottom.
My heart was never weak until you stopped it.
My body never came until you found it.
I never wept until you lost it.
I fell in and you fell out.
I offered love
you turned it down.

I want to find the simplest, purest words, my love
I want to delicately lay those words upon you
I want my purest and most delicate self to touch
your skin and far beyond it

in the simplest, yet, most sincere way
I want you to know I love...

Someone is starving to death right now
as I lay in my bed contemplating love and other fates
someone is pleading for a day of life

visions of disease don’t fit the American dream
so we tailor beliefs to surroundings
someone alive will wither and die
as I turn a blind eye to their suffering
An atheist of strict moral code is perhaps more disciplined

True love knows when it must breathe from a distance
The things that have come to pass
I spoke into existence

“sometimes you last in love, but sometimes it hurts instead.” -Adele
The contents of my purse hit the street and scatter
like the contents of my mind
you’ve scrambled everything rational
risky decisions will punish you in the end
I just want the chance to love you again
Looking at my things on the floor
I can’t face reality
the things we shared feel more tangible
