we breathe
the same air
sleep in the same
bed
drink from the same
chalice––
chase the adventuresome
sun like a kite––
worship the holy moon
between the clouds––
we intertwine like DNA
you have fully embraced
my life
all i knew how to do
was run away
from myself
i do not believe
you will run away
from me
such is love––
binding confusion––
confronting unbearable pain––
healing old wounds––
warming the shivering body––
calming the frightened brain––
cherishing the soul
i fly through life
like a comet––
only you know
where i’ve been
the moment i met you
my heart turned
to gold
& i hope i poured
riches into your
every day
one life holding hands
is a good beginning
inshallah
many more
to come
