Blessings

Blessings
When you are around me
And prophecies are practiced
In this way that we build relations.
Who we are,
Histories plastered on our skin
And our eyes tell stories of the past
Desires, hatred, fear, pain, love, hope, remember
We were together and we cried
Like the mountain bleeding
Until we drank to our own death.

Time and again,
We flowed across waters
Currents we ride
A stone fell and created ripples
And we washed onto shore
Rebirthed,
In chains.
Perhaps the stone
Was the fist closed
Holding in so much
Unable to unfold.

Blessings
When you are around me
Cause my heart opens
And my arms open
And my eyes open
Around you.
My skin unfolds at your touch
And I read histories in your presence
Remember,
In dreams,
We live together.
Walking in each other’s worlds.
