Unwind Me in Your Breath
Darling, untangle me with your gentle breath
Let's waltz in the fond embrace of love's allure
I crave to decipher
What truly defines love?
Is it the pulse within each breath?
They say life is interlaced with every inhale
Yet why do they overlook
The love it bears inside?
Your unrestrained love
Forms a maze of memories

The gates of paradise remain shut
For I have not breathed in your essence
It's okay not to exchange words with you
But the gravestones reverberate your enchanting memories
They reverberate your celestial voice
As I conversed more with my ceiling fan than with you
But it never brought me your breath

The stars encircle me, asking "Where is the moon? Why does she conceal herself? What must be paid to reveal her?
And I softly responded "From nights I stole her from the heavens
Like a thief with a missive fashioned from breath turned to Love Poetry,
It only requires your breath to set her free,
What if for a moment, you proclaim yourself as the adorned moon?

Close your eyes, and imagine that lad.
Reveal how he stirs your soul.
Let your thoughts linger on his weary shoulders
Dwell on his captivating smile
Inhale deeply and release the dark thoughts

Each time I exhale a bit too loudly, you smother me with your essence
While others slumber deeply, you deny my weary lids rest

My tresses belong to God, the rest to you
Seize my voice and watch my hands and hips transcend conceit
Struggling to stay afloat, my vessel still sips your fervent waters

So come, grind me once again,
Reducing my sense of self to mere dust
Take me from this journey
Your arms, a captivating rollercoaster
