The Look of Love

~ Sonya Kassam ~ 33 Comments

Stained Reflections

~ Sonya Kassam ~ 5 Comments

Re-created as separate entities to reflect ourselves through each other torn at being apart yet bound forever by the thinnest thread we strive to sever You cleanse your sins by staining my soul in retaliation I break away to hurt it is only my own reflection I distort When we are still and face one … Continue reading Stained Reflections

A Love Beyond ….

~ Sonya Kassam ~ 8 Comments
