The hour to get drunk on love has come.
I touch your skin and another you is born.
Birds invade the sky.
A banquet of candles floods the streets.
A white thread ties my blood vessels at the exact moment when a religious procession walks by.
On the second day, drunk on charity, my sights descend upon the earth.

I have majored in these three with a minor in kindness and compassion, but I am not sure I am yet a professional. I so enjoy your surprising phrases and your unexpected quick-painted backgrounds.. in other words your style is always fresh and captivating…
My dearest Karima, thank you so much for your beautiful comment. You made my evening. You are right. Kindness and compassion should be added. “but I am not sure I am yet a professional.” Who can really measure that? I love your writings. You are fantastic.
Sending love
xoxo
You write with such passion! Love it. ๐
Thank you so much my dear ๐ค๐ธ๐น
