Your Words

This is dedicated to my favorite poet, who never fails to make me feel. It's strange when simple words, a string of letters, really, can evoke an emotion or a thought that you never knew existed. It's not about worshiping a person with a  special skill, because I worship no one but my God. I am just in awe of how his poetry just opens my soul in a way that is raw and real. This is about respect for poetry, as an art that is almost tangible in it's heavy, eloquent beauty. Thank you Anis Mojgani for tearing out parts of yourself to become a part of us.

Your Words

Your words are thick and fibrous

Nutrition to my soul

I like how they fill my hollows

With contemplation and wonder

Your words help me soar

And sometimes make me drown

They always change me

Your words are like a mason's putty

Filling the voids in moth eaten minds

Giving me hope for humanity

Reminding me that we are indeed real

Your words reflect intellect

Like the breath of Plato bouncing off a still lake

You force me to think and to feel

Even when I don’t think that I want to

Your words ignite a fire within me

Burning bright and fierce

Like the internal battles I withhold,

Crumbling bridges of the past, and of hate

Your words

Your words are magic
