Here I am in the midst of it all,
not even a blue-black cloud and yet your mist is written
all over me–
the lit fuse of your lips soft and sensual
beckons, come take me down
and I realize
you are the only possible remedy for my parched landscape.
I am powerless,
for the moment I open my mouth,
the moment I attempt to speak, I am hushed—
the earnestness of your chiseled features is enough to bowl me over.
A floating sensation; unexplained
I find I am unable to think clearly until daylight
shapes your face,
perhaps this is the new normal
the lipstick upon my coffee cup belittles me for delaying too much—
how long must a confession be?
I ask the heat of the sun most precariously.
“As long as it takes for the fume of his sighs to meld with yours
completely.”

You’ve infused so much passion into this poem, Sanaa, it almost melts! I particularly love the lines:
‘not even a blue-black cloud and yet your mist is written
all over me’;
