! ! ! ! ! I Know Him Poem by asma bahrainwala

I know him
As the resplendent moon
Dispelling the darkness of the night
Drawing me in like a mounting tide

I know him
As the gentle wind
Holding me in a warm embrace
Caressing me open like a new leaf

I know him
As the timeless tune
Flowing from across the dunes
Kindling desires that lay quiescent within

I know him
As the meandering flake of snow
Nervously perching on my parched lips
Evoking thunderous sensual echoes

I know him
As the enchanter
Waving around his magic wand
Dispensing dreams into my deep dark eyes
