My touch in her skin
a wave at dawn unfurling
a white frothing sea
~
Minuit…
dans son visage brule
la flamme du sommeil
~
His touch
a warm sunlight filling
the cracks in her soul
~
Spring twilight
I sip my tea and gaze
at the rising moon

Free Verse # 444 (with his touch he fuels her fire)
To love her
is to touch her heart
where a hidden world
lives silently
waiting to be known
and be filled with light
~
Je t’aime, il lui dit,
non pas avec ses mots,
mais avec sa présence,
avec son attention,
avec ses yeux.
~
With his touch
he fuels her fire,
clothing her
in the silk of kisses
and tender words,
listening to the heartbeats
pulsating in her skin,
uncovering the love
in her yearning eyes,
feeling through her
to her depth
that is wider than the sky.
~
Self-sufficient
or so I thought
until I felt her presence
and learned what it means
to be alive
~
في صدريَ ملاكٌ اسمُهُ حُبُكِ.
~
Love, my silent tormentor.
~
Not over her skin
but into her soul
his gaze glides
rushing and frothing
in seas and rivers
and reaching deep down
into an endless sky
~
He breathes out
and she aches
to breathe him in,
cradle his breath,
a fire growing
inside of her.
~
Every day
I start it with a poem,
my own way of looking
into your eyes
and telling you I love you,
you who is not here but lives
in the beatings of my heart.
~
Each dawn this ache in my chest
with your soft voice says –
‘here, I am inside of you,
wherever you go
you always carry me
in your heart’

What is a poet?—a poem that plays hide and seek with itself; a poem that needs long walks in the sun and rain for it to find itself; a poem that takes a great deal of time to decipher the light in its darkness; a poem that is wasteful with much of its life for it to experience a few precious moments; a poem akin to an open wound, aching and pouring. A poet is a man without a face, standing in the crowd, in his heart feeling and recording everything. A poet is a sky buried in a man, filled with endless distances. A poet is a failed attempt. A poet is an unreachable man. A poet is not ink but life made invisible. A poet is no one. A poet is.
