Whispered Words

 So near

I hear your voice
echo through the hollow chambers of my heart,
gliding softly across the walls of my soul

But I can’t touch you
Can’t taste the silence curled behind your lips,
can’t trap your scent between my fingers,
can’t steal your breath with mine
Can’t thread my hands through your hair

You’re so close
my thoughts move with yours
without the need for eyes.

So close, it becomes torment:
to feel you everywhere
but never in my arms

I don’t ache from distance
I ache
from how near
you almost are...

The way your soul fit in mine

 I don’t believe we met by chance The way your soul fit in mine   Felt like a story i had read   In dreams too ancient to name. I’ve loved you before In lives where we spoke without words,   Where we found each other   By scent, by sound, by the ache of longing   Carved into the stars. In another life,   You were the flame and I, the moth I danced into your fire   Knowing I would burn   Just to feel the warmth of you. In another,   You were a wanderer and I, the song   You followed through forgotten cities  Always searching, always near,   But never staying. Even in this life,   Where time pulled us in different directions,   My soul still leaned toward you   Like flowers turning to light. I do not grieve only for your absence,   But for every version of us   That never had the chance to be. So if you feel me in quiet m...

Where Your Name Blooms

 Gently, your name stirs my silence.   Hope leans into the sound of you   Even my breath moves differently now  Nights ache with your absence and light   A moment with your smile becomes eternity Across my chest, your echo lingers   Love has grown where your touch might be   All my longing wears your shade  Holding you in thought becomes a prayer  Memories bloom from places we’ve never been   And still, I would wait in every lifetime  Remembered, desired forever... you...

Like spring in a barren land

 How did you settle in my soul   So silently, yet so deeply?   Why is it you of all the world Who walks my veins without permission,   Without a sound? Why does longing bloom for you   Like spring in a barren land?   Why does your absence   Carve wide, aching spaces in my days Rooms where only your silence lives? Your face...   It clings to every sunset,   Rises with the sun at dawn.   You are stitched into the light   And the darkness alike. Why do you haunt my dreams   Like a familiar echo on roads   That lead to nowhere  Yet feel like home? You,   My uninvited guest,   My constant companion,   My sweetest ache.... Nidal Sati
