All you own is Yourself

i could not contain myself any longer
i ran the ocean
in the middle of the night
and confessed my love for you to the water
as i finished telling her
th salt in her body became sugar

- Rupi Kaur (ode to sobha singh's sohni mahiwal)

(...)

get to the root 
of the wound
and kiss it all the way up

- Rupi Kaur, The sun and her flowers

i am of the earth
and to the earth i shall return once more
life and death are old friends
and i am the conversation between them
i am their late-night chatter
their laughter and tears
what is there to be afraid of
if i am the gift they give to each other
this place never belonged to me anyway
i have always been theirs

- Rupi Kaur
