“Share yourself with me.
I will never judge you.
I am here
and I will stay here
only to love you.”

Kamand Kojouri

“The greatest thinkers
have attempted to find
who we are
where we come from
and why we are here
but the greatest enigmas to me
are how your hair is a lasso
that captures the stars
how your eyes are lakes
that drown my doubts
and how your skin is the sun
bursting all at once.
If I knew these answers
I’d know everything
for you alone
contain the entire universe.”

Kamand Kojouri

“Be like the sun
that fell in love with the moon
and shared all its light.

Be like the moon
that became a lighthouse
to guide others in the night.

Be like the mountains
that were once hills
wanting to kiss the sky.

Be like the trees
that are firmly grounded
but dream up high.

Be like the waves
that tease and tickle
each other endlessly.

Be like the children
who live and revel
in the present entirely.

Be like the God
that equally loves
everything and everyone.

And be like the love
that brought compassion
when it visited the sun.”

Kamand Kojouri

“If I can’t be your love,
then let me be a simple brooch
so I may rest awhile against your chest.
If I can’t be your love,
then let me be a forgotten coin
so I may rest awhile against your thigh.
If I can’t be your love,
then let me be an unlit cigarette
so I may rest awhile in between your lips.
If I can’t be your love,
then let me at least remain in these words
so I may rest awhile in your thoughts.”
