REVERIE (POETRY BY BABA AISHA MUHAMMAD)

 REVERIE 

I smell him from afar, the weather before rain

Or maybe, have I gone insane? 

  

To my long lost first love, 

To our eyes that never met 

Or maybe just not yet.

In a time hearts first learnt how to beat, mine was asleep, 

Even if our hearts never meet 

This feeling grows too deep 

Your laughter was a song to me, melody of purest glee 

A heart full of joy and spree

I want to tell stories looking into your eyes 

Feeling a love that never dies

How do I say I'm in love with you?

My heart beats fast, my love anew

So now I'll let these feelings flee,

For now I know we will never be 

I've come to a stop that we will never be,

Because even in my dreams, you were never mine.
