Memory of the skin

-

 The skin must have a memory of its own,  

And so must the hands,  

And the mouth, and the lips...  

For what else stirs before me,  

To remember you in such a way?

In Any Normal Day

In any normal day Your face is a poem bouncing on the edges of my fingers In any normal day Your voice dances in the chambers of my heart ​In any normal day You walk through my veins Like a magic secret potion Of happiness. ​In any normal day Your breath is the wind that stirs the quiet curtains A soft rhythm I follow through the halls Mapping the distance between us Until there is no distance at all. ​In any normal day Your laughter is the golden ink Writing sunbeams across the floor Turning the mundane into a miracle And leaving me wanting nothing more...

In the Quiet of Us

 I know I’ve filled your time and space, But in your absence, there's an empty place. You miss me, I miss you pure and true, You're the soul of my poems, the sky’s softest blue. Your mind, a maze, a tangled mess, Kind yet lost, in quiet unrest. I long for more time, to stay and be near, To calm your storms, and chase away fear. The moments we share, so simple, so deep, Like therapy for your soul, a promise we keep. I cherish the stillness when we’re side by side, As your heart speaks, and my world opens wide. I love the scent of your skin, so sweet, The smile that makes my heart skip a beat. The way you overthink, caught in your mind, It’s in those moments, I feel most aligned. You are my favorite person, my joy, my song, With you, the world feels right, even when it’s wrong. Every moment spent, a treasure I’ll hold, With you, each second is a story untold... Nidal Sati

The Weight of Past Through Every Life

If I could walk through time again, A ghost upon a different stage, I'd see the faces then and when, And skip the next, blank, unseen page. I'd pass the stranger on the street, And turn away from every door, Lest their hello become defeat, And leave me wanting something more. For in their eyes, a future sleeps, A coming hurt, a heavy cost, A vow that's made, a wound that deeps, A love that's found and then is lost. So I'd retreat from every face, From every hand that reaches out, To keep my heart in its safe place, And quiet every lonely doubt. To stand alone, a hollow form, Untouched by joy or bitter strife, And build a shelter from the storm, By never truly living life... Nidal Sati
