Ahlaam - "Open-Hearted Beauty" (Spoken Word)

[@colettebrashears4253]

Lovely, I want you to know the profound impact your video had on me since I was 16. The phrase "This light that shines wasn't placed inside of me. I had to take that shit from the sun" has been in the back of mind for years. I'm 24 now and watching this again, grateful for the grace and wisdom you shared with me.

[@moto_ridinsis2250]

Looking in a broken mirror and seeing yourself whole...... Snap snap

[@deborahrose6972]

We bow to you, the beauty you are is us all. You are a world of beauty, the original beauty. Thank you Ahlaam for choosing to be her.

[@adroitteen6030]

This video means the world to me it's one of my favorite things to watch and listen to. To understand it is beauty in itself. Thank you for being you

[@destineyrooks5011]

[@2plus8egal10]

This is the first video without an insult. Well done to the poetess and to you all who have made positive comments. People respond nicely to poetry because unlike any other art,it speaks to the soul.

[@madinahmubarak4101]

Beautifulllllll

[@GreenwithEnvyx]

This piece is beautiful!! A poet I admire once told me that, seeing someone eyes, as in making eye contact, is one of the keys to falling in love. So, if I wanted to make someone fall in love with my poetry, I should make eye contact [with the camera] more. That is the only thing I wanted more of in this video, was direct eye contact. You looked almost anywhere other than the camera and when you did, it was fleeting. Just a thought, this is the first video of yours I've seen. I will most certainly be looking at more though. Beautiful work :)
