#Foolishness
I want to go somewhere... I want to fly away. Oh God, how I want to fly away fo… I want to go to a place where my s… Where my soul dances like leaves i…
Something beautiful in the air, As out the window I stare. A crooked beauty in the trees, A whistling briskness in the breez… Hanging instruments dance a broken…
As the sun rises to meet the day, As the butterflies come out to pla… The world opens her eyes. As another night dies, I roll out of bed,
When I sit down to spill out some… My heart flies as free as the bird… When I sit down and pour out my s… I fill the parts of me that are un… When I sit down and think of your…
When you left, The charcoaled night opened up And swallowed the last fiery slive… Then the darkness swallowed my pit… ~c.l.l./Fatima Amal (2016)
The sky opened up to darkness, A black opaque starkness. Devouring all the light, As I lost my sight. As I soar away,
It’s better this way... There are no words I need to say. I will say them to myself at night… As I look up at the moon’s crysta… It’s better this way,
The sun cracks open the night, With her rays of light, Like a lightning bolt shot across… As my heart begins to cry. The wind breathes softly through
There once was a gypsy girl, With eyes marked by the sea. Fire burnt within her curl, As her heart cries out..."Free!” She danced to music no one heard,
I am an endless well, My anxiety brings me hell. My tongue has a razor-edge, And my hopes live on a ledge. My compassion is cruel,
She smokes her cigarette at noon, Her hopes tied to a freed balloon. She thinks of what she has that is… And if it was worth the cost. But she rages on...
I have a hope that will be fulfill… I have a wound that will be healed… I have a faith that is sealed. I have the Grace of God to shield… For He is mighty in His way,
I am the words I use to write, I am coffee at midnight. I am the wind that blows across th… I am starred by my mistakes. I am the songs I sing to the moon…
I dreamt awake of a fate I knew n… One marked by God above. I know not what it may mean, Unspeakable deceit I have seen. I lie asleep in a fog,
You walk around on pink cotton clo… Cleverly hiding under multiple shr… A darkness lies in your heart, Riddles and rhymes that can tear o… A kindness mocks from your lips,
