A Simple Whisper: I Love You
Do I need
a special time,
candlelight and mug of black coffee
to express
what’s on my mind?
I’m not that good
to write heartfelt
emotions in rhythm
or rhyme
No Qays nor Qabbani I am
and no fancy words
can match the hue
in your eyes,
the warmth in your voice
and even the distance between
the back of your feet and the ground
when you are in low heels
so I’ll be wise and
take my cue
and simply whisper
“I Love You”
