Milk & Honey
I’ve come to really enjoy reading poetry. It’s so deep. Short or long. It doesn’t matter. Sometimes to shortest ones are the most powerful ones.
My most recent read is Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur. What a read. To some it may be difficult to read. Others will love it. It’s an honest book divided into 4 chapters; hurting, love, breaking, and healing.
HURTING
a daughter should
not have to
beg her father
for a relationship
This section is a difficult one to read. It’s graphic and in a non-pleasant way at times. It’s brave to share these sorts of things. It’s personal. Yet I feel power when I read those words. It’s still very brilliant and lovely to read.
LOVING
i want you hands
to hold
not my hands
your lips
to kiss
not my lips
but other places
I adored this chapter. Every poem was sexy. Some even turned me on. I pictured lovely things. These words made my smile and laugh and bit my own lips. They made me think.
This book made me feel. It’s a bit hard to describe as everyone can feel differently when reading anything. Sometimes it’s descriptive and you imagine what you can. Other times the words are relatable.
BREAKING
even after the hurt
the loss
the pain
the breaking
your body is still
the only one
i want to be
undressed under
A sad chapter. Somethings relatable but not fully. Everyone has gone through things she’s said. Unfortunately yet these are are feelings and actions of life that lead to the next chapter which is…
HEALING
stay strong though your pain
grow flowers from it
you have helped me
grow flowers out of mine so
bloom beautifully
dangerously
loudly
bloom softly
however you need
just bloom
to the reader
