“Sit here,
so I may write
you into a poem
and make you
eternal.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“Why this candle?
Why this cake?
The day of my birth
is not today.
I was born
when you said, 'Hey.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“Forgiveness is a transformative act because it asks you to be a more empathetic and compassionate person, thereby making you better than the person you were when you were first hurt.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“We start a relationship with someone not only because of how great they are but how great they make us feel. And because they have granted us this extraordinary gift—a chance to experience love, joy, compassion, and security —it is our exclusive privilege to make them feel wonderful about themselves, especially during days when they, themselves, don't feel so wonderful.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“What can I tell you
about the alchemy of twins?
Twins are
two bodies that dance
to each other’s joy.
Two minds that drown
in each other’s despair.
Two spirits that fly
with each other’s love.
Twins are
two separate beings
conjoined at the heart!”
― Kamand Kojouri

“There is nothing I can do that won’t bring me back to you.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“I used to be lost in us. Blurred were the lines that separated us. But now, I see our togetherness in our separateness. I see the you in me and the me in you. We are two independent beings who complement one another like photographs that are beautiful on their own but are enhanced when juxtaposed, creating an altogether new photograph.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“This is an ode to life.
The anthem of the world.
For as there are billions
of different stars that
make up the sky
so, too, are there billions
of different humans that
make up the Earth.
Some shine brighter
but all are made of
the same cosmic dust.
O the joy of being
in life with all these people!
I speak of differences
because they are there.
Like the different organs
that make up our bodies.
Earth, itself, is one large body.
Listen to how it howls
when one human is
in misery.
When one kills another, the
Earth feels the pang in its
chest. When one orgasms,
the Earth craves a cigarette.
Look carefully,
these animals are
beauty spots that make the
Earth’s face lovelier
and more loveable.
These oceans are the Earth’s
limpid eyes. These trees, its hair.
This is an ode to life.
The anthem of the world.
I will no longer speak of
differences, for the similarities
are larger.
Look even closer. There may be
distances between our limbs but
there are no spaces between
our hearts. We long to be one.
We long to be in nature and
to run wild with its wildlife.
Let us celebrate life and living,
for it is sacrilegious
to be ungrateful.
Let us play and be playful,
for it is sacrilegious
to be serious.
Let us celebrate imperfections
and make existence
proud of us, for tomorrow is
death, and this is an ode to life.
The anthem of the world.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“Life is a concept, like the “universe", that expands as soon as we reach what we think is its edge.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“I’m a winner because I always bet on you.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“May we always be burdened with thinking of the suffering of others, for that is what it means to be human.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“Why wait to forgive and let go only after you have sufficiently wallowed in your despair? Why not forgive and let go now?”
― Kamand Kojouri

“Being deeply, passionately, and intensely in love is being deeply, passionately, and intensely in life.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“The thing about love is that you will never run out of it. It's an ever-flowing river. So go ahead and LOVE. What are you saving all this love for â€� death?”
― Kamand Kojouri

“I cannot imagine how much I must’ve suffered in my previous lives to be fortunate enough to have parents like you in this life.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“I became an artist because I wanted to be an active participant in the conversation about art.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“Don’t say to yourself, ‘Everyone argues!â€� to justify and normalise your fighting, when the most natural thing is to love.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“Love isn’t blind. Maybe we are all born blind and love finally gives us sight.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“This is the only truth in the world that was necessary yesterday, is necessary today, and will continue to be necessary tomorrow: be conscious of now.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“She might not have read many books. But when she reads a book, she swallows the very words. If you open the books on her shelves, you will find that the front and back covers encase white pages.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“I love you so much
I want to share you
with yourself.
I know you do not insist
that I do, but I love you
so much I want to share
God with you.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“To be wise means to know when to stay silent.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“How is it possible, you ask, for love to be greater than the person who does the loving? That’s because love defies the rules of reason. It is the only exception.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“For what was it about books that once finished left the reader in a bit of a haze and made them reread the last few sentences in order to continue the ringing in their hearts a while longer, so as not to let the silence illumine the fact that reading, they had gained something â€� distance, a lesson, a companion, a new world â€� but now, after the last full stop, they had lost something palpable and felt a little emptier than before.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“To begin to know ourselves we must have sincere conversations with ourselves as if with a good friend. We must answer without reserve, listen without judgement, and accept without condition. That is self-love.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“I long for the day
when I hear the music
without any song.”
― Kamand Kojouri

Soon,
lovers all over the world
will be reciting poems
dedicated to you.
This is my promise.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“You are my favourite part of life.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“It is a dangerous thing to substitute reading or writing for living. Live first, then write.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“This poem was meant
to be unwritten.
But I am writing it now
and have thereby changed
destiny.”
― Kamand Kojouri
