holy ordained slave
beloved to carry the shadows, to keep the pearls of your Love beneath our tongue
to preserve Beauty
we are the estranged, the assigned to remain empty
to mirror Light, remaining always only the reflections of Haqq

she has become my distant lover. my heels crave the cracked holiness of her cobblestone. old city, dome, wall, burial you are still circling at my feet. now i only feel at home when i am close to the ground. mimicking the comfort i found at her feet - Jerusalem

I remember the moment
you first said you loved me.
Our bodies coinciding
Bleeding into each other
Into the muddled mess of love
We've made.
In between our mouths
You fill the space
with your warmth
And I could swim
In the sky
Of your body
You paused our melting
released an 'i love you'
And I've rolled it on my tongue
Ever since
snatched your love off jasmine trees
placed it in my hair everyday
Your love is as sweet
Fragrant and beautiful.
I am sorry for walking
for not having roots deep enough to grow you.
I don't have enough, baby.
I don't have enough.

i'm not sure if it's ours anymore
i stopped counting my days
into your arms after you gave 15
minutes.
you gave me seconds of silence
empty pockets of filler space
15 moments of 'let me listen then go'
it has been two months of my
counting on you to honor us
two months of still
loving you and placing it
elsewhere.
i was waiting to land on
on the tarmac
and fall into you for days.
you were my days
north star
drinking gourd
you were home,
love

your breath is hot on my shoulders
heavy
with pomegranate juice
purple drops of condensation on my skin
your face
drips of rosewater
tears never salty
or reminiscent of the sea
always sweet
always of spring
