What can I say about us?

Our eyes drop diamonds on the floor - more than five a day

Infused baths a reprieve from silk swords slashing our face when we pray

Angels gifted rest come to our rooms and stay

Our teeth chime like chandeliered crystals in the wind when we eat a banana

Oceans of rosewater flow beneath us when we trek across the savannah

Our feet open and shed flower petals when we walk on velvet carpets

We are the tenderest of those that are found in love’s lush markets

It’s from الله
