stirring air with suppleness of walk,
waking up the stillness with jingles of cymbals,

and pen became enraptured;
my eyes, and hands. and this and that
became electrified.”

Kamand Kojouri
“I open my eyes.
I want to know:
what is in the abyss of a kiss?
Are stars born in these black caves
that house bated breaths and unspoken words?
Do our souls crawl on these tender cheeks
to greet one another by ivory gates?
What happens when we kiss?
Where do you go?
Don’t tell me.
For I have lost my desire to know.
Kiss me
so that I forget myself.
I close my eyes
and fall in the abyss.”
Kamand Kojouri

“And what about the lovers who spend hours staring into each other's eyes? Is it a display of trust? 'I will let you in close and trust you not to hurt me while I'm in this vulnerable position.'

A simple search for connection

To see.

To be seen.”
Nicola Yoon, The Sun Is Also a Star
