INTOXICATION

Posted on June 1, 2017 by Kamand Kojouri

“Having drunk the dregs of Your Love,
I am intoxicated beyond recognition.
Now, I only pray for the nearness of You
so I may advance in my annihilation.”

This little poem of mine has been shared and read at a Women’s History Month event with African Bankers, at the Resnick Aspen Action Forum in Colorado, and at the Leadership Fiji Institute event a couple of months ago. A few pastors and a Rabi have asked permission to recite it during service. A band also asked if they could turn it into a song. Of course, I am honoured that my words have resonated with them but perhaps this is only the case because of the current political climate all over the world. Most of us seem to have become paralysed by fear and hopelessness. Therefore it is imperative that our artists stand up against hate and bigotry, more than ever before. It is time for us to rise above and create. To reveal humanity. To rekindle hope. We must prevent society from destroying itself, from losing its way. Because now... is the time for love. #kamandkojouri #artistsoninstagram This is the original poem: They want us to be afraid. They want us to be afraid of leaving our homes. They want us to barricade our doors and hide our children. Their aim is to make us fear life itself! They want us to hate. They want us to hate the other. They want us to practice aggression and perfect antagonism. Their aim is to divide us all! They want us to be inhuman. They want us to throw out our kindness. They want us to burn our love and bury our hope. Their aim is to take all our light. They think their bricked walls will separate us. They think their damned bombs will defeat us. They are so ignorant they don’t understand that my soul and your soul are old friends. They are so ignorant they don’t understand that when they cut you I bleed. They are so ignorant they don’t understand that we will never be afraid, we will never hate, and we will never be silent. Let life be ours!

The persistence of hope when in love is quite something, isn’t it? For what is love other than hopefulness? ❤️ #poetsofinstagram #poetsofig #lovepoems #lovepoetry #poetry #writersofinstagram #writersofig #kamandkojouri

My first time carving a pumpkin 🎃 lol no one tells you how dangerous it is 🙈 #kamandkojouri

My father recently did an Akashic reading and the Master told him that my twin sister and I have one soul. Well, I have always known this to be true. She is the reason why I don’t have a jealous bone in my body — I see her as an extension of myself and so her success is even sweeter than my own. The goal is to eventually see everyone in this way so I can care for every human equally but I’m not quite there yet... It’s been such a wonderful experience to bear witness to my sister’s growth throughout these years. She has matured into a sophisticated and extremely bright woman with the most compassionate heart. She is the first to stand up for those who have been wronged and this is exactly the person I aspire to be. Happy birthday to my soulmate 💞 #kamandkojouri
