There are numberless questions to be asked,
some of which
no matter how hard I try,
remain within the barriers of less than rosy lips—
after hours are no longer bruising;
I have surrendered to the flow of the universe.
The sky, a witness to ever-increasing ardor that blooms in
my breast,
who designed this path we are treading upon?
Barely a whisper,
my name upon your tongue reveals far more shades
than one,
and I think back to the times when I have made you laugh—
my skin yet to feel your touch,
revels in the warmth of your eyes instead.
Without you, breath is nothing more than a wisp of smoke
that hurts;
routine in the form of your embrace is what my heart yearns for.

A wonderful quote to choose, and a splendid poem inspired by it. I particularly love, ‘Without you, breath is nothing more than a wisp of smoke’ and the final line.
In these difficult times, the routines we cherish have been disrupted for many, and a number of people are parted from their loved ones. May this soon be rectified!
May it be so, amen! Thank you so much, Rosemary 😀 so glad the poem resonated with you 💄❤️
I’m amazed that you have managed to imbue a quote from To Kill a Mockingbird with the essence of romance, Sanaa! My favourite lines:
‘Barely a whisper,
my name upon your tongue reveals far more shades
than one’
and
‘Without you, breath is nothing more than a wisp of smoke
that hurts’.
Thank you so much, Kim 😀 so glad you enjoyed it 💄❤️
