“Even when I write about this swan
and that orchid,
I write about you.
Every word
of every line

and lungs
so that every breath I expel
leaves a trail of you in the air—
the same air that I inhale.
I no longer know myself separate from you.
But how I long to be with the source!”
― Kamand Kojouri

― Sappho, Come Close

“Even in darkness your lips taste of sunshine”

“Perhaps all women are part faerie, for what woman can deny her faerie blood when the portals to her own land are open; when the full moon sings its insistent song; when sorrow and passion and rage pulse through her body at moon times.
