“Fall in love with someone
who tastes like adventure
but looks like
the calm, beautiful morning
after a terrible storm”
― Nikita Gill

“Impossibility

Do you know the feeling when you’re so happy that you can’t imagine ever being sad again? Or when you’re so sad that you no longer believe you could ever be happy? When you tell me you love me, I always think of that strange emotion—that feeling of impossibility. You say you love me, and you can’t imagine a future without me in it, yet all I can think of is how you must have felt the same way once about someone else.”
― Lang Leav, The Universe of Us (Volume 4)

“Knowledge after all is a dark art, full to the brim with liberty, a trembling, malleable power.”
― Nikita Gill, Fierce Fairytales: Poems and Stories to Stir Your Soul

“The thing I admire most
about you
is no matter how hard,
or how much the world
has tried to
beat you,
break you,
destroy you,
and throw you to the wolves
you are still here,
turning all your pain
all your suffering
into armor,
into determination,
into weapons
and earning the respect
of that same pack of wolves
that were meant to rip you
limb from limb.”
― Nikita Gill, Wild Embers: Poems of Rebellion, Fire and Beauty
