is what you are, so I pound it into your chest
time and time again. Never forget
the horizon you walked out from
a pool of water, of love,
of undying affection, of mountains of unending
faith.
You are the substance of things hoped for
the evidence of things dreamed.
In my dream, I asked you to be the star,
the crown, the jewel, the mono of this world’s chrome.
your mother, a pool full of you
starfish, swimming around in yourself
I say stay, wait for me as you go around entering
into garlands, into Palaces, into poems and songs written by
songwriters. Oh hell, so wait.
In our past life, this poem had another stanza written
on your tongue, on your body, on my palms
and no, I never said we joined bodies
but we joined soul. An alchemist, a blacksmith
the fire/flower I write about in my poems.
In real sense, this is an eulogy, Umaiza,
but the being of my midsection is singing it’s own song
I know it’s verse, I know it’s cleff – says it is U-cleff.
Are you still there?
In my dream, I asked you to be the start of dawn,
I asked you to wait, I wanted your wrist, but I got your waist
Like Cinderella, don’t go. Stay.
Here, love. Stay.
Heyyyyy! Thank you for reading through, bestie.❤️ I sincerely hope that you thoroughly enjoyed this poem?
Do tell me what you think about the poem in the comment section.
This poem was actually written to my friend -a female friend, though. I just felt the need to appreciate her and tell her how much I think highly of her, her strength, her resilience (which she is totally unaware of) her beauty, her existence. But hey, I am not in love here.😂😂😂 😂
P.S: This poem was written by me, and any resemblance to the work of any poet has to be considered as pure coincidence. No part of this poem must be republished in any other form, or platform. Do not plagiarize.
