“People talk about love like it is patient and kind. Love is also dark. It is ferocious and angry and destructive.”
― Nikita Gill, Wild Embers: Poems of Rebellion, Fire and Beauty

“You

And first,
before him
and before her
and before them
there was you.

Never forget that.”
― Nikita Gill, Your Soul is a River

“Remember, there are beginnings in endings, through destruction there comes life.”
― Nikita Gill, Your Soul is a River

“Persephone, grant me the foresight to know when I must let go my old life to start anew.

Artemis, grant me the strength of your spine when you helped deliver Apollo, your own twin.

Athena, grant me the solidarity in your sinews for which you were born in all of your armour.

Aphrodite, grant me the kind of heart that always follows my passions true.

Andromeda grant me the wish to never fall out of love with the night sky or the glisten of it’s stars.

And Hera, grant me your fury, so I can remind my enemies I am not the weakness they perceive, I am the oncoming storm, I am war.”
― Nikita Gill
