Poem Of The Day

poem to you
written in whispers
by Dima Hilal

lover
do you realize
the earth tilts on its axis
way beyond 23.5 degrees
when my lips touch your lips
do you know
your blue-grey eyes
slink like cats into mine
make me less jaded
and when I growl
grasping my doubt like a shield
lover
your voice steals calm after rain
and says hush
hush baby
and in spite of myself
i do
haven't you figured out
your hands across my back
span centuries and I swear
the sun's first ray on earth
felt just like this
