Where the City Exhales

Your touch, soft as a breeze, 
sends a zing through my skin, 
a spark lingers  
in spaces  
between  
us 
and I find myself  
lost  
in your gaze. 
How’s it that the world is suddenly quiet? 
That time is suspended, and 
it’s just us,  
glowing.

    Glowing… there is a lot of heat in your wonderful poem

  2. Romance with a zing, and so delightful, Sanaa. The opening lines hooked me, and then I read:
    ‘a spark lingers
    in spaces
    between
    us’
    and
    ‘it’s just us,
    glowing’
    and melted.
