بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

your fingertips blush like the warm flush of sunset
one hand rests on the gear shift
you keep your nails long, but they’re clean and neat

rosehip tea for me, chamomile for you
i soaked up the fever, under your blanket, while you painted accross the room
your words were soothing, caring, loving, meaningful

safe, when you touched my face, no jumpstart stress-response
we stood outside and watched the children on their bicycles
safe, when you wrapped you arm around me watchfully

i feel that you are coziness embodied, i feel that you are down feathers and i am under your wing
i love you, ordinarily, sanely, calmly, softly
i know you are...
