Where do I stand when neither side recognizes me as one of them.
RAHA ARAZWhere do I stand when neither side recognizes me as one of them.
RAHA ARAZI am suffocating in the vacancy of the overflowing space, can you feel me reaching out?
RAHA ARAZIf ever happiness happens to forget you even a little bit, never completely forget about it.
RAHA ARAZIt is not thanks to you but in spite of you that we have just one day to look down from the top. The mountains we move should have never been there.
RAHA ARAZThe cloak of death has favorites when its strings are being controlled by the puppeteer of hatred.
RAHA ARAZFor in the wild I feel the safest where the thorns of the invisible hand can not prick me.
RAHA ARAZHave you ever heard silence? How do you hear the silence? You don’t, you feel it. And they stared at the silence between them.
RAHA ARAZThey are simple creatures they see right through you and if by chance they miss you, they will make you believe you were never there.
RAHA ARAZFor him, my body was for him.
RAHA ARAZThere is no sunrise as beautiful as the one where you realize you are worth a million suns.
RAHA ARAZThough it may be the season I’m not quite in bloom but slowly unfolding to where I may accept the sun and someday bloom.
RAHA ARAZLiving in a constant paradox, begging to be held and released by gravity, to be grounded and free. But my feet pressed against the earth yearn for the clouds above my fingertips adrift whispering I don’t want to be at the mercy of gravity.
RAHA ARAZMany times over my eyes have devoured the layers of your skin but I’ve never seen you naked.
RAHA ARAZCan you taste the colors your ancestors weaved into, The armors of resilience they wore; Can you taste the colors of the unpaved path before you, waiting to be colored by you?
RAHA ARAZI remember so little that I can’t forget enough.
RAHA ARAZHow can I not love you from a distance when you breathe the same way I do, Have the same needs I do? Search for the same purpose and meaning that I do ? Why must there be me over here and you over there that do not live in the same world?
RAHA ARAZ
