《 Hearts are wild creatures, that’s why our ribs are cages.》~Elalusz

One line hitting home, spiralling with emotions, surfacing with thoughts that beg to be captured, plead to be written :

Wild hearts rebelling against their carrier, skipping a beat or two, screaming for freedom. Let me out. Between the folds of its lover’s heart, it seeks home.

And so two souls join hands and spill their emotions. Here we write about hearts rebelling against our sanity.

It’s uncanny.

The way each of us breathe a definition upon its syllables.

Love.

Coming in all colours and shades. Rough at the edges, so delicate, so pure and tainted. Like it’s everything and its contradiction.

Sometimes I wonder how can we squeeze such immense feeling in one word. Love. Seeps in one’s blood unintentionally, stringing the cords of our hearts creating a melody. A melody hard to decipher. A melody that’s so different from one to another.

The heart’s harmony but woven by lovers to form their intricate rhapsody, beautiful as it is true.
Each verse veers a silent promise too powerful to shatter.

Love, a word burdened with too much meaning which none can truly describe. To linger free in the lover’s garden of roses unafraid of thorns. Sometimes, the heart flutters in bliss and other times cries in agony in his absence.

Oh, this maddening painful beautiful love!

As the wind blows, brings it does with the melodious rhapsody the wails of people who taint their souls with hatred. Attempts made to tear these melodies from their bearer, end but in failure. Can you tell the heart to stop beating, then how will it stop loving?

Lovers unfazed cuz the heart is too feral to tame. The promise, that every breath secretly whispers, is carved into their wild hearts.
Together Forever.

Nour's note — Subo from what I can tell is a person who's undeniably passionate about what they do that it appears in their words. Her ideas are the most interesting as well as extremely important to tackle. It dazzles me how she is still young but has an exceptional way with words that everything she shares hits you right in the gut. She is witty, sweet, and overall an incredibly talented writer who’s not afraid to share her mind. It’s been such an immense joy collaborating with you and I can't thank you enough for that. I’m really glad I can call us friends.❤

Special thanks for the whole chalkboard team!
